Throughout the entire development process, Zak has been super hands-on and has supported us 100 percent. Even though he had just had an operation and was on crutches, Zak still made sure to show up to our soft opening. If I ever had any questions, Zak was only a phone call away. Then, when the pandemic started, we were nervous about how things were going to play out, but sales actually shot up 30% based on the fact that wings work so well through delivery. Plus, less competition, third-party delivery partnerships and great food allowed us to fare tremendously well.


Atomic Wings was created in 1989 by Adam Lippin, with a mission to share authentic New York style Buffalo wings with the world. Now, with more than 10 restaurants open in the U.S., Atomic Wings is setting its sights on nationwide growth. In addition to its existing locations in New York and Maryland, Atomic Wings has 16 additional units that are expected to open in the near future. The brand is currently led by owners and brothers Zak and Ray Omar, who are multi-unit franchisees themselves with Dunkin’, creating a brand focused on franchisee success and satisfaction. This business model allows franchisees to offer customers never frozen, natural and hormone-free chicken wings hand-tossed in more than 14 proprietary sauces, a classic menu, a welcoming dining experience and a commitment to quality.
