In 2003 Tom Anastopoulos, the Founder and President of the AllStar Group of Companies, was lamenting over supper one night that there didn't appear to be any really great place for wings. Coincidentally, the dinner Tom was serving was ribs. Everyone loved Tom's ribs! So while the dinner time discussions revolved around wings, it was quickly decided that Tom's excellent ribs should also be a staple of a daring, new business. And so AllStar Wings & Ribs was born! It was an instant success! It soon became evident that the success came as a result of careful planning and meticulous execution of the concept. Tom was sensitive to the fact that customers demand value and value meant quality product, fair price, great service and a convenient location. Product in the restaurant business is of paramount importance.
