About Our Client

What began as a small buffalo-style chicken wing restaurant in Garland, Texas, continues to soar to great heights. Today there are more than 2200 restaurants open across the globe.

We quickly became a fan favorite when we first opened the doors in 1994. The proprietary recipes, outstanding food and superior customer service created a demand that could only be satisfied by more locations.

And in 1997 we started offering franchises. Today we are one of the fastest-growing concepts in the country, attracting top entrepreneurs and operators with the drive and passion to own their own.

We're not in the wing business, we're in the flavour business'. It's been our mission to serve the world flavour since we first opened shop in '94, and we're just getting started.

1997 saw the opening of our first franchised restaurant, and by 2002 we had served the world one billion wings. It's flavour that defines us and has made one of the fastest growing brands in the restaurant industry.

We are the destination when you crave fresh never faked wings, hand-cut seasoned fries and any of our famous sides. For people who demand flavour in everything they do, there's only Wingstop - because it's more than a meal, it's a flavour experience.
