Wingstop voted ‘Best Wings’ in Tallahassee in WCTV contest

Nov. 3, 2008 - PRLog -- Tallahassee, Fla. – Wingstop, the wing fanatic’s favorite chicken wing chain, has just won its second award this year for Best Wings in Tallahassee.

WCTV ran an online contest in which people submitted their picks for best wings in the city. Over the course of a month the five top wing joints were narrowed down by popular vote and on Oct. 31 Wingstop was announced the winner.
   
Deborah Brown and her son Chris Saam are the proud owners of the three Tallahasee Wingstop locations.

“We are so happy to get this vote from the city,” said Brown.  “Seeing the appreciation people have for our wings is what motivates us everyday.”
In September, Wingstop also received ‘Best Wings’ in Tallahassee Magazine’s ranking for the third consecutive year.  
The Tallahassee Wingstops are located at 3111 Mahan Drive, Suite 21, 1964 Tennessee Street, Suite 4, and 6668 Thomasville Road, Suite 111.
