Wing cafe opening soon

For the past few months, students strolling by Sanford Hall often stare at the construction in the basement with much anticipation. A ‘coming soon’ sign for World of Wings, known as “WOW,” still hangs ominously over a veiled entrance. Soon, all secrets will be revealed as WOW opens in early November.

“We’re shooting for a grand opening on Nov. 3,” project manager Andy Dobbs said. “The project is coming along really well.”

With two floors of seating, modern architecture, and walls slathered with neon paint and plasma televisions, the restaurant seems ready to serve good food to a high traffic of students.
“I’m ready for some good wings,” freshman Ryan Nichols said. “I guarantee that I will try every single sauce.”

With wings, subs, wraps, salads and New Orleans inspired cuisine, WOW brings an array of new foods to campus.

“[WOW] adds a new variety to normal campus food,” said dorm resident Brandon Cole. “Plus, you do not have to go downtown to eat.”

As the only on-campus restaurant close to the dorms, students express much excitement about WOW’s convenient location.
“The fact that WOW’s closer than SAGA makes it that much more appealing,” Courtney Odum said. “I will definitely go.”

With the proximity of WOW, students and chickens no longer need to cross the road to grab a quick bite to eat. But with this addition, some students feel that the dining hall might lose diners.

“I think WOW is going to deter a lot of people from going to SAGA,” Ian Bridgefort said. “With WOW you don’t have to cross the street at night, you don’t have to dodge crazy creepers, it’s really convenient.”

Some off-campus students share the excitement about WOW.
“I’ll probably go there,” off-campus student Ibrahim Ahmed said. “It is convenient, even if you don’t live on campus.”

Even Village resident Drew Godsey expressed his enthusiasm for WOW.

“I’m on campus during the day,” Godsey said. “Walk a little extra now and I get to pig out on delicious wings.”

World of Wings serves 17 different wing sauces, ranging from the traditional buffalo sauce to Key West inspired citrus salsa. WOW does not serve only wings, they also offer a wide array of chopped salads, barbecue, seafood, wraps, burgers, and chicken tender meals. Lucky for students, these new foods do not have to come from out-of-pocket costs. As a part of the on-campus dining services, WOW accepts Dining Dollars on the Bobcat Card.

“I have heard of World of Wings before on college campuses,” Ellie Ebert said. “My mom passes by all the time at Kennesaw State University.”

GCSU will join Georgia Tech and Kennesaw State University in adding a World of Wings to their campus meal options.

“I’m pretty stoked,” Josh Beck said about the upcoming opening. “I’ll eat there a bunch.”

WOW not only provides food for Milledgeville, but also provides much-needed jobs.

“I might consider working there if I decide to get a job,” Kara Winkoop said.

Whether employee or customer, residents of Milledgeville and GCSU are sure to enjoy an exciting dining experience at the opening of WOW in November. For those evenings when students want to try something new, thanks now to WOW, they can just wing it.
