This family-oriented franchise is renowned for its casual dining atmosphere, particularly beloved by wing aficionados. The Ballas duo brings a wealth of experience and passion from their backgrounds in the hospitality sector, making them an ideal fit to lead this community staple.

A Legacy of Service

Gregory Ballas is not just any owner; he is the son of ECW+G’s CEO, Sam Ballas, and has been immersed in the workings of the franchise for years. His experiences in real estate and development have given him a solid foundation to understand the business operations deeply. His partner, Dafni, comes from a rich background in the restaurant industry, having grown up in the family-run Michael Family Restaurant Group, where she honed her skills.

The couple emphasizes the importance of community and dedicate themselves to ensuring that their staff feels valued. As Gregory puts it, "It's truly in our DNA. We love the fast-paced environment, and we love the people who make it all happen."

Creating a Community Hub

For the Ballases, owning the Clemmons location is more than just a business endeavor; it represents a chance to continue their family tradition of entrepreneurship. Both Gregory and Dafni are proud residents of the Clemmons/Winston-Salem area, and they are committed to building a place that fosters community connection.

"What we believe in is building a strong culture from within," Dafni stated. "If our team feels supported and appreciated, that positivity will naturally extend to our guests. Loyalty is built one experience at a time."

Hands-On Approach

The couple plans to take a hands-on approach in daily operations, ensuring that the restaurant exemplifies their vision of exceptional food and service. Their goal is to create an inviting atmosphere where every guest feels at home. Gregory and Dafni are particularly proud of ECW+G’s extensive menu featuring over 50 award-winning wing flavors, alongside delectable burgers, flatbreads, and crafted beers, catering to all tastes.

Celebration of Community

To celebrate their new leadership and the importance of community, the Clemmons location will host a Community Day on November 18. During this event, the Ballases will donate 10% of the day's sales to the local Ronald McDonald House, supporting families with children undergoing treatment at nearby hospitals. This initiative reflects their commitment to giving back to the community they cherish.

A Bright Future Ahead

Sam Ballas expressed pride in seeing his son and daughter-in-law carry forward the family legacy. He is confident that they will uphold the brand's values of community, quality, and care, transforming the Clemmons location into a model of what East Coast Wings + Grill represents.

Nestled at 6340 Clemmons Point Dr., ECW+G is ready to serve the region with fresh, customizable menu offerings, ensuring that every visit is memorable.
