Another New Yorker is moving to Tampa, but this time they're bringing chicken. East coast chicken tendie concept Sugar Wing is about to make its deep-fried debut in the Sunshine State.
The New York-based chain will open its first Florida location on Friday, April 26 at 7724 113th St., within the Seminole City Center in Pinellas County.
To celebrate the grand-opening, the first 50 people on Saturday, April 27 will receive three free chicken strips paired with their choice of sauce. Plus, all weekend long, guests can score any entree with a side of "dip em fries" and a drink for $5.
Sugar Wing, which will be open daily between 11 a.m.-9 p.m., is clearly all about consuming various types of chicken (like wings, hand-breaded strips, and chicken sandwiches). But there's also chopped salads, mac and cheese, fries, and sauces... a lot of sauces, 16 to be exact.
Sugar Wing started as a ghost kitchen concept in 2019 from the folks at Mighty Quinn’s Barbeque, and has since expanded to include brick and mortar locations in the New York and New Jersey area.
The company says there's also plans to open a new Westgate Plaza location at 12004 Anderson Rd. in Tampa next month.
