From Fraternity Kitchen to Franchise Empire: Matt Friedman on Building Wing Zone From Scratch
from The T.R.O.N. Podcast · host Rashad Woods
Matt Friedman is a serial entrepreneur, business leader, and the co-founder of Wing Zone, a restaurant brand he launched with Adam Scott while they were students at the University of Florida. What began in 1991 as a late-night wing experiment in their fraternity kitchen grew into an international franchise business with locations across the U.S. and abroad. Matt’s entrepreneurial journey is a story of spotting an opportunity, taking a risk, building a brand from the ground up, and learning what it takes to scale a business. After decades of growing Wing Zone, he has continued his entrepreneurial journey and is now CEO of Epic Wings. He brings a wealth of experience in entrepreneurship, franchising, leadership, branding, and business growth—and an incredible story of how a simple idea between college friends became a global franchise.Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/the-t-r-o-n-podcast/donationsAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy
