Although its original scheduled opening was delayed by a week or so during the remodeling of the former Buffalo’s SW Café on S.R. 54 (at 5510 Post Oak Blvd.), Wesley Chapel’s Ker’s WingHouse opened on June 6 to an estimated crowd of between 500-1,000 people. Included among that throng were two dozen or more Greater Wesley Chapel Chamber of Commerce (WCCC) members who cut a ribbon with Wesley Chapel general manager Eric Ratcliff of the new Ker’s Wing House and his staff of gorgeous servers and bartenders.
The opening day crowd filled up the “first 100 on line” by 8:40 a.m., with the first three arriving at 6 p.m. the day before. Each of the first 100 received not only an official WingHouse T-shirt, but also one free lunch per month for a year.
That mass of humanity waited in the pouring rain of Tropical Storm Andrea and Ratcliff says that while the number of people was not unexpected, it was still overwhelming.
And, Ratcliff says he’s pleased with the crowds the WingHouse has seen since the opening. I’ve been there twice at peak lunch hour — once on a Tuesday, the other on a Thursday, and there already was a wait for tables both days, although there were still plenty of seats on tap at the bar, where Wesley Chapel’s finest in feminine pulchritude provide outstanding service and beautiful smiles at no extra charge.
Ratcliff also says he’s heard some of the available commercial parcels around the WingHouse have been sold, so look for updates in future issues.
