Highcross Leicester is soon set to welcome two major new food brands to the centre, both marking their much-anticipated city centre debuts.
Wingstop UKI and Umami World Kitchen will add to Highcross’ existing dining offer, joining popular names such as wagamama, Tamatanga and the recently re-opened Bill’s.
Fan-favourite, Wingstop UKI, is set to open its very first Leicester restaurant after the brand’s CEO, Chris Sherriff, suggested that Leicester had been its “most requested city for the past five years”.
Anticipated to open ahead of Christmas, where it will be located in St. Peter’s Square, near Showcase Cinema, Wingstop UKI is part of a 76-strong network of sites across the UK. Over the years, the brand has built a loyal following; thanks to its bold flavours, signature wings, tenders and burgers, as well as milkshakes and churros.
Speaking about its Leicester debut, Chris Sherriff, CEO at Wingstop UKI, said: “We’re beyond excited to be opening our first restaurant in Highcross. Surrounded by some fantastic restaurants and retailers, Highcross is the perfect spot for us to finally bring our signature wings and bold flavours to our already loyal Leicester fans. The response on social media has already been incredible – people here clearly love their flavour!”
