Craveworthy Brands Concepts Unite Under One Roof, Creating a New Path for Wing It On!’s Growth and Bringing the Brand to the West Coast for the First TimeThe Rollout Comes Days Before Wing It On! Returns to the National Buffalo Wing Festival to Defend Its Winning Reputation

LOS ANGELES, Aug. 24, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Fresh Brothers Pizza (“Fresh Brothers”), the Los Angeles-born brand known for its fresh, handmade pizza, is now serving Wing It On!‘s award-winning wings at all Fresh Brothers locations across Southern California. The co-brand brings together two concepts within Craveworthy Brands (“Craveworthy”), the multi-brand restaurant company that owns and operates both, expanding Wing It On!’s footprint by 20 locations at once.

“It’s the same Fresh Brothers you love, now with championship wings.”

Starting today, guests can order Wing It On!’s bone-in wings and boneless bites with a choice of five sauces, two dry rubs and house-made dips, alongside Fresh Brothers’ full menu of handmade pizzas, salads and pastas, as well as its new Crustwiches. The championship wings are available at all locations across Los Angeles, Orange County and San Diego for dine-in, takeout, delivery and catering, with online ordering also available.

Founded in Los Angeles in 2008, Fresh Brothers has built a dedicated following around dough crafted daily, vine-ripened tomato sauce, pure cheese without additives and premium meats. For nearly two decades, the brand has continued to evolve its menu while staying true to the fresh-made approach at its core.

“It’s the same Fresh Brothers you love, now with championship wings. It’s a winning combination, and that’s exactly why we believe in it,” said Gregg Majewski, CEO and founder of Craveworthy. “The brand already has an incredibly loyal fan base across Southern California and Wing It On! has proven it can compete with the best in the country. Now, in one launch, we’re bringing the two together under one roof and significantly expanding Wing It On!’s reach.”

Wing It On! arrives on the West Coast as an established wing brand. Founded in 2011, the concept has grown from its Connecticut roots to serve guests in markets across the country, building its reputation around what it calls the “trifecta”: perfectly crispy wings, award-winning sauces and house-made dips. This debut takes Wing It On! coast to coast, bringing its championship pedigree to a new audience of wing fanatics through Fresh Brothers’ established Southern California presence.

“When we started Wing It On!, we were obsessed with creating the ultimate buffalo wing experience – just the right crisp, the perfect sauce ratio – and we’ve never stopped pushing on that,” said Matt Ensero, co-founder of Wing It On! “We compete against the best wings in the country and win, so for us, wings are never an afterthought. Bringing Wing It On! and Fresh Brothers together means best-in-class wings meets great pizza – a complete meal meant to be shared between families, sports enthusiasts and friends.”

Just days after the wings make their Fresh Brothers debut, Wing It On! will return to Buffalo, New York, Aug. 29-30 to compete for more hardware at the National Buffalo Wing Festival. The brand enters this year’s competition with nine awards earned over the past four consecutive festivals:

2025: First Place, Medium Traditional – Buffalo; First Place, Savory – Garlic Parm-fredo; Second Place, BBQ – Hickory BBQ; Third Place, Hot – Wings of Prey2024: First Place, Extra Hot Traditional – Wings of Prey2023: First Place, Medium Traditional – Buffalo; Second Place, Dry Rub – LTO2022: First Place, Medium Traditional – Buffalo; Second Place, Traditional BBQ – Hickory BBQ

The new offering also arrives just in time for football season, bringing world-class wings and pizza together for game days, watch parties and everything in between. Fresh Brothers and Wing It On! are taking the celebration into Southern California communities, giving local heroes, including first responders and hospital teams, an early taste of the wings, with youth sports teams and other local organizations joining the lineup throughout the season.

Beyond the California rollout, the pairing demonstrates a new avenue for growth within Craveworthy’s multi-brand platform. By bringing Wing It On! into all Fresh Brothers locations, Craveworthy expands the wing brand’s footprint by 20 locations – entering a new market without opening a single standalone restaurant. The model creates another path to accelerate brand growth by bringing complementary concepts together within Craveworthy’s existing restaurant footprint.

“We’re always looking at where our brands can make each other stronger and deliver exceptional hospitality,” added Josh Halpern, chief business officer at Craveworthy. “Fresh Brothers gives us a strong platform to introduce Wing It On! to an entirely new market and more fans, while Wing It On! brings something new and proven to Fresh Brothers’ guests. Being able to accelerate growth by leveraging the strength of our existing portfolio is exactly the kind of opportunity we can create when the right brands come together.”

Antaisolar also unveiled its 2026–2027 action plans for EcoRaise, its global ecological co-building initiative, covering four areas: environmental protection, biodiversity conservation, green energy development and sustainable lifestyles.

The rebranded Hong Kong platform, formerly GROW Digital Wealth, rolls out an AI-powered workforce across its network of 200 advisors as it accelerates expansion in the world’s leading wealth hub

HONG KONG, Aug. 26, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Growhill Wealth, an AI-native and licensed wealth platform, today announced the launch of its agentic AI workforce designed for independent financial advisors (IFAs) across Asia, capturing a tech-driven transformation as AI boosts advisor productivity and reshapes wealth management economics globally.

Built to introduce an AI workforce into daily practice with total human oversight, this infrastructure update marks Growhill Wealth’s rebranding from GROW Digital Wealth, maintaining full continuity across platform operations and leadership. The company previously received investments from Julius Baer-backed GROW Investment Group and Animoca Brands.

Growhill Wealth, distinguishing itself through robust IFA enablement, is accelerating its expansion in Hong Kong’s US$2.9 trillion* wealth market. As the city surpasses Switzerland as the world’s top wealth hub, the firm will open a new location at One Peking Road this year, followed by a Central office in the first quarter of 2027.

“Asia’s wealth expansion marks a structural shift for independent advisory. By equipping every advisor with secure agentic AI at a fraction of traditional platform costs, Growhill Wealth frees professionals to focus on high-touch advice and client relationships—delivering a caliber of service on par with major private banks,” said Alan Lau, Executive Chairman of Growhill Wealth.

“Hong Kong serves as the ideal launchpad to bring agentic AI to global wealth management,” Lau added.

Growhill Wealth offers advisors an open, institutional-grade multi-asset product shelf, and agentic AI support across core advisory workflows, elevating independent advisory to private-bank standards under strict human supervision. Regulated services across the platform are delivered by Growhill Wealth and its group affiliates under Hong Kong Securities and Futures Commission Type 1, 4, and 9 licenses, as well as an Abu Dhabi Global Market Category 3C license.

The platform, which has reached 200 advisors and US$800 million in assets under management and advice, is positioned for its next phase by empowering Asia’s wealth professionals with secure, compliant, and efficient agentic AI capabilities. Growhill Wealth’s human advisors are supported by an always-on AI workforce that monitors client portfolios around the clock and flags what needs attention, prepares research and portfolio reviews, drafts client proposals and updates, and handles routine operations and paperwork.

William Ma, Chief Investment Officer of Growhill Wealth, said, “The future of wealth management will be won on technology, operations and service. Growhill Wealth is built to give independent advisors that infrastructure on an open, AI-native platform, so they can serve clients efficiently and to a higher standard. This is the direction we are committed to leading in Asia.”

As part of this step, the group is bringing its licensed businesses together under the Growhill Wealth brand, a process being completed in line with the relevant regulatory approvals.
