Probably not an ideal time to reopen a restaurant. The costs of goods have gone up significant....as have labor costs...in the event you can actually find someone to work.

Believe it actually just sold recently, not sure what’s going on though but believe they’ve already started doing something.

Most things have leveled out, wings are actually cheaper then pre Covid prices.

Labor still a huge issue though

Wondering if the I-10 widening might have anything to do with this.

Wings have definitely hit the floor. Babybacks as well. I looked at markets today and supplier costs, wings are $1.40 and babybacks are $1.80. Amazing! Everything else is still high.

Wow, people are downvoting. Do they not like lower priced wings and ribs? Crazy!

Says me, cause I buy cases of wings weekly. They’re currently under .90 # for all three suppliers some being .60 for jumbo. Cheers

US foods is currently the cheapest. Also locally from Choctaw Provisions.

I thought I read $1.40 direct from the plant. I’ll have to double check. Maybe I misread?
