In a trilogy deal with Hammerson, Wingstop will open three new regional locations at Bullring in Birmingham, the Oracle in Reading and Cabot Circus in Bristol.
Following the successful opening of their 10th UK location in Gloucester Road, South Kensington late last year, Wingstop UK are now set to open sites in the former EAT at Bullring, the former Chik-Fil-A at the Oracle, and the former Dorothy Perkins in Bristol’s Cabot Circus. Opening dates are expected to be announced shortly.
With plans to reach 20 locations in the UK by the end of 2021, Wingstop can also confirm that new locations are set to open this year in Canary Wharf and Kingston-Upon-Thames, where the brand will be occupying the former Pizza Hut located in Kingston Town Centre. This marks the continuation of a rapid expansion plan for Wingstop in the UK since launching their first restaurant in 2018. Further regional openings are set to be announced in the coming month.
Iain Mitchell, UK Commercial Director at Hammerson, said: “We know that for our customers, grabbing a bite to eat is a really important part of a trip to one of our destinations, so we’re constantly on the look-out for brands that can deliver something special. Wingstop has already built up a strong fan base in just a few years, so I’m certain these new sites will go down well with our customers, and complement the broader offer at these destinations. It’s been a tough twelve months for everyone, but announcements like this demonstrate that there’s a light at the end of the tunnel. We can’t wait to safely welcome customers back to our destinations.”
