Pluckers Wing Bar closes in Baton Rouge after 21 years
Dec 03, 2024
BATON ROUGE, La. (BRPROUD) — Pluckers Wing Bar has closed after 21 years in Baton Rouge.
"Pluckers is proud to have been a part of the Baton Rouge community for the past 21 years. As the only franchised locations in operation, the two stores were up for renewal. Our focus is to always deliver the best environment for our guests. During renewal discussions, we requested a number of upgrades to the franchised stores. After many conversations with our franchisee over the economy and the increased costs to upgrade, together we determined that the best decision was to close these locations. We are sad to end this chapter, but we remain excited about the future of Pluckers and our continued expansion," officials said in a statement.
A sign was posted on the door at the location at Bluebonnet Boulevard near the Mall of Louisiana saying, "Closed. Thank you for 21 years. Geaux Tigers." Pluckers also had a second location near Louisiana State University on Nicholson Drive.
Webpages for both Baton Rouge locations were no longer active online as of Tuesday.
The popular spot served wings with different flavors of sauces including maple chipotle, garlic siracha, spicy lemon pepper, spicy garlic parmesan, buffalo mild and honey BBQ. According to the website, Pluckers also has Asian-inspired wings on its menu such as Gochujang, a sweet and savory Korean BBQ sauce, and teriyaki.
Pluckers has locations in Houston, Austin, College Station and San Antonio.
