Wingstop Restaurants, Inc. is a chain of nostalgic, aviation-themed restaurants specializing in chicken wings. Wingstop locations are decorated following a 1930s and 1940s "pre-jet" aviation theme. The restaurant chain was founded in 1994 in Garland, Texas, and began offering franchises in 1998. Since then, Wingstop has grown into a chain with more than 1,000 restaurants either open or in development.[2] The chain is headquartered in Dallas, Texas.
Wingstop's former national spokesman was Troy Aikman, three-time Super Bowl champion and NFL Hall of Fame inductee.[3] It was acquired by Gemini Investors in 2003, which sold it to Roark Capital Group in 2010.[4]
Menu
The menu consists of wings, boneless wings, and chicken strips, with a variety of dips and sides.[5]
