University of Michigan students getting new wing spot on campus

ANN ARBOR, Mich. – Students will soon be able to chow down on chicken wings at the Michigan Union thanks to a new dining option.

Detroit-based Wing Snob is slated to open its first-ever campus location at the University of Michigan. The new concept is the national chain’s first foray into campus dining despite having more than 50 locations across the United States.

Once opened, students can grab wings smothered in different sauces ranging from Buffalo to Nashville Hot and Lemon Pepper.

The brand has become known for its wings, sandwiches, chicken tenders, loaded fries, desserts and sauces.

“We are excited to welcome Wing Snob to the Michigan Union! Students have been asking us for a great chicken option, and Wing Snob has a variety of menu items that meet a diverse array of dietary needs,” said University Unions and Auxiliary Services Senior Director Susan Pile.

Wing Snob officials said the jump to campus dining, especially at a Big Ten Conference participant, shows its commitment to “wing enthusiasts,” students and faculty, among others.

“We are thrilled to open our first university restaurant at the University of Michigan and introduce Wing Snob to the vibrant campus community,” says Jack Mashini, Co-Founder of Wing Snob. This new endeavor will open the door to many more restaurants, allowing us to serve our wings to guests across the US in a non-traditional setting.”

The Michigan Union is at 530 S. State St.
