The restaurant has occupied the historic Greenewald's building at the corner of Church and Main streets since 2005. When the restaurant moved in, it was the second most historic Wild Wing Café location in South Carolina, dating back to the 1890s.
This isn't the first time the local Wild Wing Café has closed. In 2008, the Wild Wing Café closed. At that time, the restaurant was having financial problems and disagreements with its franchisor.
Employees and customers arrived for lunch only to find Wild Wing Café doors locked and signs posted indicating it had closed. But the restaurant reopened in 2009.
Regular customers can visit the Wild Wing Café franchise's other Upstate locations in Greenville (1025 Woodruff Road) and Anderson (119 Interstate Blvd.).
