Wing Factory announced today via their Facebook page that their Dunwoody location has closed. The restaurant, at 5500 Chamblee Dunwoody Road, was within the Shops of Dunwoody shopping center. The announcement indicated that the Dunwoody location opened in 2014.
"Our Dunwoody store will be closing as of July 1st so we can focus on our other metro Atlanta locations. To all our Dunwoody neighbors, thanks for the support over the last five years, and we hope to see you in Chamblee, Chastain and Smyrna soon!"
The locally owned chain, which got its start in 1997, remains open on Peachtree Boulevard in Chamblee, on Roswell Road in North Buckhead and on Cumberland Boulevard in Smyrna.
There is no word yet as to what may replace the 2,945 square foot former wing joint, but there has been a fair amount of interest in the center over the past several months.
Longtime neighborhood favorite Wright's Gourmet closed this past February after 35 years in business. Popular Sandy Springs eatery Breadwinner Cafe & Bakery announced plans in April to open in the former Wright's space with "late summer" reportedly still their targeted opening.
Porter BBQ & Brewery opened in the center this past March after months of renovations. The restaurant is the sibling of Porter Pizza & Brewery on Powers Ferry Road in Sandy Springs.
