It looks like a recently opened sports bar and hot wings restaurant may be on the move.
Recent permits suggest that Wing Fanatic, which shares its space with Fanatic Sports Bar, could be relocating from its current Appling Way location to a new spot at 2770 Whitten Rd.
The permits reveal that a new sign is being installed and electrical work is underway. While this could indicate an expansion, it seems unlikely given that the restaurant has only been open for a few months.
Both establishments were launched by owner Darrick Franklin at the beginning of this year. They have been inactive on social media since February, and the phone numbers for the Appling Way sites are no longer in service.
Fanatic Sports Bar operates as a BYOB venue, serving a menu of made-to-order American dishes, while Wing Fanatic offers 31 varieties of hot wing sauces.
What Now Memphis has reached out to Franklin for further details and will update this page with new information as it becomes available.
