Franchise Times Highlights CEO Mike Axiotis and the Growth of Lehigh Valley Restaurant Brands (LVRB)
In the March 2026 issue of Franchise Times, CEO Mike Axiotis was featured for his role in establishing Lehigh Valley Restaurant Brands as a premier name in the franchise restaurant sector. The article, “Fly the Coop: Top Chicken Wing Franchise,” explores Mike’s strategic vision and the operational excellence that has propelled the brand to the forefront of the industry.
“We did extensive homework and it all kept pointing to chicken, and the more we delved into the franchise disclosure documents for the big chains, the answer of where we wanted to go always came back to Wingstop. Small footprint. Limited menu offerings. Digital focus. Strong brand reputation. Great tasting chicken. It’s what set the brand apart for us when we did our due diligence,” said Axiotis, the president and CEO of Lehigh Valley Restaurant Brands, which owns and operates 19 Wingstops in Pennsylvania.
