Wingstop rolls on, and it’s shaping up to be another a big year. In January, the company opened its 1,000th location (worldwide), and before the year is out, we’ll see the 1,000th US unit open its doors for the first time. Wingstop has a stated desire to become a top 10 global restaurant brand, and it took another step in May by signing a development agreement for the UK, which will mark its first foray into Europe. Growth is good – and necessary – as the company has seen sluggish same-store domestic sales in recent quarters. CSG projects Wingstop will add 140 new units in 2017, as seen below.
