STATESBORO — The Atlanta-based fast food restaurant A-Town Wings has opened its doors at a new location on South Main Street in Statesboro.

A-Town, started by a group of chicken shops in 2008, has 17 locations across the Southeast. Beyond wings, their menu includes fish and Philly cheesesteaks. 

The property was previously an Italian restaurant called Little Italy, which recently closed down. City Planner Owen Dundee said it may have been due to its small parking area.

A-Town submitted an application for the property earlier this year. As the property was previously being used for a restaurant, only minor renovations were done, such as changing the sign and improving the existing kitchen, said Dundee.

“I know that the restaurant business is sometimes rough, especially for new ones, but I hope this concept stays, and I wish them the best of luck.” Dundee said. “I’m excited to have them as a part of South Main Street in Statesboro.”

A-Town Wings is currently open for business at 450 South Main Street from 11 a.m. to 10 p.m. every day.
