**Heads Up: Wing Special Update**

Due to the impact of the bird flu, the cost of chicken, especially wings, has increased significantly. As a result, we’re adjusting our wing special from dollar wings to half-off wings. We believe this still offers great value, and we wanted to let you know in advance so there are no surprises.

We truly appreciate your business and continued support during these times. ♥️
