Wingstop announced the opening of its 2,000th global restaurant in Pittsburgh. This milestone comes on the heels of continued, industry-leading momentum, having delivered 20 percent same-store sales growth in the first quarter of 2023 and achieving its 19th consecutive year of same-store sales growth in 2022. With significant whitespace ahead, this development milestone is one step in Wingstop’s journey to Top 10 Global Restaurant Brand status, with a goal of over 7,000 restaurants globally.
In honor of Wingstop’s 2,000th restaurant milestone, the Flavor Experts released a list of “2,000 Ways to Wingstop,” serving as ordering inspiration.

We have a significant opportunity in front of us to scale Wingstop from 2,000 restaurants today to over 7,000 restaurants with an accelerated pace of growth on our mission to Serve the World Flavor.”
