There have been more than a few success stories about businesses that started in Colorado. One of which fall under the "restaurants" category: Wing Shack.

Colorado's Wing Shack Brining Second Location to Loveland

Loveland has a special place in Wing Shack's history, as it was where Wing Shack opened up their second location, just after two years of being in business. There's no question that they know what they're doing, 20+ years later, and that they have a lot f fans in Northern Colorado (and Wyoming.)

Wing Shack spawned an off-shoot chicken tenders restaurants, Sexy Sammies, in 2021.

Part of my week is getting off of work in Downtown Windsor, and hitting up the Wing Shack down the street in town. I have one beer while playing three games on that old Star Trek pinball machine. Every other week, I hit them up for lunch; it's cheap and I get to get away from the station for a bit.

Taco Restaurant Closes in Loveland, Leaving Behind Spot for Wing Shack

It was in the summer of 2023 that Capitol Tacos opened its first location in Colorado in Loveland at Centerra, across from Wendy's. Though they started out strong, but the shop closed down by early 2025.

Some said it was a bad location, but I think Wing Shack has such a following that this going to be a great spot for them.
