Phoenix wing restaurant Ace of Wingz expands with second location on East Thomas Road
A second storefront follows a rapid rise from food truck to brick-and-mortar
Ace of Wingz, a Phoenix chicken wing restaurant known for experimental sauce combinations, has expanded beyond its original North Phoenix shop with a second Valley location. The new site is at 3923 E. Thomas Road in Phoenix (85018), adding an East Phoenix address to the business’s existing storefront at 8052 N. 19th Avenue (85021).
The expansion marks the latest step for a brand that began as a mobile operation before moving into a permanent space. Ownership information published by the business and restaurant coverage identifies chef and entrepreneur Abion Acoy as the owner and founder. The concept’s growth has been tied to a menu built around wings and a rotating lineup of flavor profiles, including sweet-and-spicy combinations that have become central to the restaurant’s identity.
What the new location adds to the footprint
The second Ace of Wingz location is positioned along a major east-west corridor that connects central Phoenix neighborhoods with Arcadia and surrounding areas. The address also places the restaurant in a retail strip environment where food-and-beverage tenants operate side by side, a common model for fast-casual and takeout-driven concepts.
Operational details listed by the business indicate both locations share the same phone contact line, suggesting a unified ordering or customer-service setup across the two sites. The company’s locations page lists the North Phoenix store on 19th Avenue and the East Phoenix store on Thomas Road as its current footprint.
How the expansion fits into Phoenix’s wing market
Phoenix has a dense and competitive chicken category that spans national chains and local operators, with wings offered across sports bars, quick-service restaurants and independent specialty shops. In that landscape, Ace of Wingz has positioned itself as a niche concept focused on distinctive flavor development and presentation, a strategy that can differentiate smaller brands even as larger chains continue to grow their Valley presence.
The move from one to two locations typically brings new demands: staffing depth, consistency across kitchens and supply-chain coordination. A second storefront can also broaden the delivery radius and reduce travel time for customers on the opposite side of the city, especially for food categories such as wings that are frequently purchased for group meals and convenience occasions.
