Wingstop cooks up record UK expansion for 2025
Wingstop has unveiled plans to open at least 20 new sites across the UK in 2025.
The chicken chain said ten of the sites are due to launch in the first half of the year, including in places like Swansea, Newcastle, Lakeside, Streatham and Cardigan Fields. It will also open a further delivery kitchen in Brighton.
Wingstop currently operates 57 sites in the UK and employs over 2,500 people. The new locations are expected to create hundreds of additional jobs.
Laat year, the company launched 18 new UK shops, including a flagship site at Westfield Stratford City, which is the biggest Wingstop worldwide with over 160 covers.
