The Wing Zone was founded in 1991 by Matt Friedman and Adam Scott, then two students at the University of Florida. The two students took over their fraternity kitchen at nights and began developing their own techniques for creating original buffalo wings. According to Wing Zone's website, they sold out on their first two nights of business. Matt and Adam opened up their first two stores in Gainesville, Florida in 1993. As of 2014 Wing Zone has opened 8 stores in Panama City, Panama. In 2014, Wing Zone opened their second international store in San Pedro Sula, Honduras,[5] after in 2015 Wing Zone opened their third international store in Guatemala City, Guatemala.
