Being in the restaurant business means plenty of competition for a company like Wild Wing Cafe, so it’s constantly reinventing new marketing strategies, creating new products and staying on top of entertainment trends to gain an edge in the marketplace.
Over the last 16 years, founders Cecil and Dianne Crowley have been laying the groundwork for growth and success. Between 2005 and 2006, the company’s revenues increased by 51%.
Dianne Crowley said maintaining growth over the years has been the result of hard work from a lot of talented people. She advises other businesses to value their employees “because you cannot do it alone.”
From her years as a business owner, Dianne Crowley said businesses should:
• Make sure that no matter how big you grow, you remember where you came from.
• Never lose sight of the fact that each and every customer is important.
With multiple locations around the South and three in the Charleston region, Wild Wing Cafe is looking to continue its franchising growth and diversify into retail, Dianne Crowley said.
