Wingstop UK announces record expansion plans for 2025
Wingstop has announced its biggest opening pipeline since launching in the UK in 2018, with plans to open over 20 sites in 2025.
The chicken wing restaurant chain has already confirmed at least 10 openings by the end of the first half of the year, including dine-in restaurants in Swansea, Newcastle, Lakeside, Streatham, and Cardigan Fields, as well as a delivery kitchen in Brighton.
Wingstop UK currently operates 57 sites in the UK.
The announcement follows a period of rapid expansion for Wingstop UK in 2024, which opened 18 new locations. The brand reached 50 sites and opened a flagship restaurant at Westfield Stratford City, the biggest Wingstop worldwide.
Chris Sherriff, CEO at Wingstop UK: “2024 has been a landmark year for Wingstop UK, marked by record site openings, a new flagship location and industry accolades.
