Our
History
Wingstop landed on
the scene in 1994 with the idea of serving the ultimate buffalo-style
chicken wings and to provide quality products with superior service at
an exceptional value.
The restaurant was
an immediate hit and in 1997 we began offering franchises in response
to the growing interest from entrepreneurs wanting to open their own Wingstop
restaurant.
Today we have more
than 450 restaurants open or under development in 26 states and continue
to add new stores at a rate of almost 30 percent annually.
And as we expand across
the United State we continue to hold true to the original concept. Our
wings, which have won awards in competitions nationwide, remain the only
center of the plate item on the menu. In addition, Wingstop is continually
ranked among the best franchise concepts in the nation by restaurant and
franchise industry publications.
The Menu
Over a decade after
opening our first restaurant, our legendary buffalo-style chicken wings
remain the primary focus at Wingstop.
Each is made fresh-to-order,
served steaming-hot and sauced in one of nine proprietary flavors, including
Original Hot, Cajun, Atomic, Mild, Teriyaki, Lemon Pepper, Hawaiian Barbeque,
Garlic Parmesan, and Hickory Smoked BBQ.
Our Restaurants
Wingstop restaurants
are designed to create a fun, comfortable atmosphere for our customers
and for ease of operations by the franchisee.
All of our stores
are outfitted with 1930's - 1940's, pre-jet engine aviation décor
and artifacts. The entire family will feel welcome in our comfortable
and inviting surroundings.
