Wingstop
Founded in 1994 in Garland, Texas, Wingstop is a restaurant operator specializing in indulgent bone-in and boneless chicken wings, chicken tenders, fries, and, recently, chicken sandwiches. The firm's footprint has grown quickly since its inception, expanding to 2,932 global stores at the end of the third quarter of 2025. With a 98% franchised model, Wingstop generates the lion's share of its revenue from franchise royalties and advertising fees, with the remainder derived from a small footprint of company-owned stores.www.wingstop.com
