Hoots Wings, the up-and-coming fast-casual wing restaurant recently opened the doors of its newest location in Bedford, at 4105 Hwy 121. Hoots Wings offers a variety of menu items from the five different wing varieties and chicken sandwiches to seafood and salads, and is open 11 a.m. to 10 p.m. daily in Bedford.
Behind the new location is Dallas-based AE Restaurant Group, led by Cary and Jackie Albert, who signed a deal for 60 franchise locations in the state of Texas back in February.
The restaurateurs bring 27 years of experience to this development project. The Alberts have owned and operated franchises since 1994, which started with Schlotzsky’s, a fast-casual restaurant chain specializing in sandwiches. Now, the Alberts are the first franchisees in Hoots Wings’ history to ink an agreement with a development focus in the Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex and Austin areas.
“Our first two Hoots Wings locations have been very successful so far,” said Jackie Albert in a press release. “We are grateful to be able to continue to expand in the Dallas-Fort Worth area and bring Hoots to the community of Bedford. We value the continued support from our fans who love our diverse menu of over 10,000 flavor combinations, and are thrilled to play a role in the history of Hoots Wings as their first-ever Texas franchisees.”
The Alberts have another ten locations in development, eight in the greater Dallas-Fort Worth areas and two in the greater Austin area, all set to open by Q1 2022. The husband-and-wife duo plan to open 10-15 locations each year, on pace to open all 60 locations over the next six years.
