, headed by Costa Mesa attorney Daniel Sonenshine, plans l0 locations in Los Angeles and Orange counties.

Wingstop's aviation-theme restaurants--it has 158 in operation nationally--focus on chicken wings. The company is scouting 1,300- to 1,700-square-foot locations in shopping centers anchored by 24-hour grocery stores.

"It's a unique concept," said Sonenshine, who's quitting law for the restaurant business. "There's nothing that's just chicken wings in California."

At privately held Chick-fil-A, the focus is on chicken sandwiches. The company says it had system-wide sales in 2002 of $1.37 billion, a 10.5 percent increase from the year before.

While the company opened tour stores in Southern California in the mid-1980s, its growth has been mainly in the South and along the East Coast. That is now shifting to the West Coast.

Moving West

In adding six new members to its board of directors, LA Inc., the Convention and Visitors Bureau has embraced some of its harshest critics.

The addition of several Westside hotel and business interests may stem from complaints that LA Inc., the official marketing arm of the city, hasn't included enough hotels on its board and was too focused on attracting tourism downtown.

The new board members are Jim Burns, area general manager for Los Angeles Airport Marriott; Brad Gluckman, president and chief executive of Mid-Wilshire-based APEX Realty; Timothy Loughman, managing director of the Century Plaza Hotel The Century Plaza Hotel in Los Angeles is a landmark 19-story luxury hotel forming a sweeping crescent design fronting the spectacular fountains on Avenue of the Stars adjacent to the twin Century Plaza Towers.  & Spa and the St. Regis Los Angeles; Noelia Rodriguez, chief of staff and director of external affairs for the Broad Foundation, Carl Schuster, president and managing partner of Wolfgang Puck Catering and Events; and Lewis N. Wolff, co-founder and chairman of Maritz Wolff & Co., which owns the Fairmont Miramar hotel in Santa Monica.

"As the board expands, the idea is to have greater representation in the (hotel) industry, which is the first line beneficiary of our work," said Michael Collins, LA Inc.'s senior vice president.

Jamba Juice Co. is about to get some competition. New Orleans-based Smoothie King Franchises Inc. is planning to open 25 stores in Los Angles by 2006. In the next three months, the company--with 325 stores in 34 states--plans on opening locations in Glendora and Long Beach.
