Wingstop Chicken Wings and Tenders

Wingstop is an American aviation-themed restaurant chain celebrated for its cooked-to-order chicken wings, tenders, and signature seasoned fries tossed in an assortment of distinctive sauces and dry rubs. Founded in 1994 in Garland, Texas, by Antonio Swad, the brand expanded rapidly across the United States through franchising before making its international debut.

In the United Kingdom, Wingstop operates via a master franchise agreement managed by Lemon Pepper Holdings Ltd. The chain has established a substantial presence throughout British high streets, shopping centres, and delivery networks, preparing fresh chicken dishes on-site across its nationwide locations using poultry and fresh produce sourced locally and regionally.

The global parent company and ultimate owner of the brand is Wingstop Inc. (traded on the NASDAQ under the ticker symbol WING), headquartered in Addison, Texas, United States. Wingstop Inc. oversees international licensing and franchising standards while regional master franchisees like Lemon Pepper Holdings handle day-to-day operations and store rollouts in the UK.
