Jim Manley, marketing manager for Fricker’s confirmed that as part of their 38th anniversary celebration Fricker’s in Ohio, Indiana and Michigan will be rolling their wing prices back to 1985. That means you can get an order of 10 Frickin’ Chicken wings for $2.95 from 11am – midnight on Sunday, April 2nd when you dine in at one of their 24 locations. Current menu price would be $12.49 so that’s an over 75% savings.
Manley shares that Fricker’s owners want to honor their customers and knows that prices keep going up and they wanted to do help their guests celebrate with an affordable promotion. But it will be a costly promotion for the business. Manley says pre-covid they were paying just under $40/case of fresh chicken wings (never frozen) and now with inflation they are paying about $145 for that same case.
This wing promotion is just one of the ways they give back to the community, they also host a couple of golf tournaments each year as well as donate over $100,000 annually to local schools and charities.
They’ll be celebrating their almost 1000 employees by giving them a throw-back t-shirt and even have a social media promotion where one lucky winner will get free wings for a year!
On that Sunday, April 2nd they will not be offering their Frickin’ Parkmoor Chicken, anticipating that the fryers will be filled with chicken wings. Also, the special wing pricing is limited to one order per person!
