DALLAS — Wingstop has announced that comp store sales for its most recent quarter increased 3.3 percent, the 24th consecutive quarter — or six years — of comp increases. The company also noted that double-digit comp increases have occurred in 13 out of the 24 quarters.
James A. Flynn, Wingstop president and CEO, credits the growth to the chain's network of franchisees, loyal customers and its focus on chicken wings.
In the past six years Wingstop has:
- Introduced its ninth wing flavor, Hickory Smoked BBQ, which is now the third most popular sauce in the Wingstop system.
- Introduced Family Packs, combo meals and online ordering, which today accounts for more than 50 percent of sales.
- Gone from two to more than 90 restaurants on the West Coast.
- Increased its appeal with women and children with the introduction of boneless strips, which now account for 12 percent to 15 percent of sales.
- Signed its first international franchise development agreement to open 10 restaurants in the State of Mexico and Mexico DF.
- Continued a six-year relationship with national spokesman Troy Aikman.
