Wingstop is launching an expansion campaign designed to add more than 50 restaurants throughout the Chicago and Midwest area.
The expansion effort will begin with a Tour & Taste franchise event at the Hyatt Regency Chicago on June 23. The event will connect franchise prospects with Wingstop executives and samples of the chain’s award-winning wings.
Wingstop has 450 stores throughout the U.S. and Mexico, and 14 franchised locations already open in Chicago, including the top-grossing store in the system.
“Chicago loves wings and we have a very loyal fan following here,” said Bruce Evans, vice president of franchise development for Wingstop. “There is a huge growth opportunity in Chicago and the Midwest, and we look forward to meeting the right franchise partners to help us continue opening successful stores in this area.”
