Wingstop has announced this week that the company and its network of more than 440 restaurants have sold 2 billion wings.
The announcement was made during the company's national convention at the Palms Casino Resort in Las Vegas. Wingstop executives, staff, franchise brand partners and vendors were on hand throughout the three-day event.
The company also announced that private equity firm Roark Capital Group has acquired Wingstop, and in addition revealed the chain's new interior store design.
"This year's convention celebrated some of the most magnificent milestones we've achieved in our brand's 16-year history," said Jim Flynn, Wingstop CEO. "Not only did we reach 2 billion wings, but we are closing in this year on the 500th store. Add to that our new relationship with Roark and this is an exciting time to be a part of the Wingstop family."
The Wingstop National Convention featured a private concert with country music star Lee Ann Womack and a keynote address from corporate speaker Troy Hazard. More than 350 franchise partners, vendors and Wingstop staff attended the event.
