Salt Lake City —Having successfully built locations throughout the mountain west, Wingers Restaurant & Alehouse is coming to the Midwest. Samuel Larkpor, principal and manager of SRJ Capital, LLC, recently signed a three-store Development Agreement with Wingers Franchising, Inc., and is anticipating opening their first location in the middle of Oklahoma City in 2023.

The new restaurant will offer a wide variety of food and drinks, combining award-winning handmade wings, Sticky Fingers, burgers, salads, craft beers, and great service; Wingers Restaurant & Alehouse has perfected the art of giving guests the comfort of a family restaurant with the liveliness of a Sports Pub. Renowned for being a fun and energetic gathering place for friends and family, Wingers is an outstanding local spot to socialize, watch a sports game, eat some amazing American food and drink a cold beer.

“Wingers is very excited to be working with Sam Larkpor in bringing the Wingers Alehouse experience to Oklahoma,” says Eric Slaymaker, CEO & founder of Wingers USA, Inc. “Oklahoma will go crazy for Wingers’ Amazing food and high-energy atmosphere, and we are thrilled to be working with SRJ Capital and Sam in the Midwest.”

Samuel Larkpor and his family came to the United States from Liberia, West Africa, in 1994. Larkpor grew up on the north side of town and has been a real estate investor since his early 20s.

Larkpor is the founder of SRJ Capital, LLC., and is excited to bring something new to Oklahoma’s residents.

“My first experience with Wingers was in Boise, ID,” says Larkpor. “When I first tried the signature sauce on the wings, I fell in love with it. So, when I saw an ad that they were selling franchises, I contacted them to find out how I could own one and bring the concept to Oklahoma, it would be the perfect fit; there is nothing like it here.’

Two more locations are slated to open each year following in surrounding areas. These three Wingers Restaurants & Alehouse will be the first restaurants in the SRJ Capital, LLC portfolio.

“I always wanted to be in the hospitality industry, and I am excited that I get to bring something new to my city,” Larkpor says. “ The culture of Wingers really fits in our city, and I am excited to be part of a group that will bring something new for the residents to experience.”
