Wingstop has officially entered the Charlotte, N.C., market with the opening of its first Wingstop located at 9211 N. Tryon St.
The new Wingstop, located across from the UNC Charlotte campus, is thanks to Brand Partners Alexandra Acosta and Miguel A. Flores Stringel, a father-daughter team. The duo, which currently owns and operates several agricultural-based businesses throughout Mexico, signed a three-store agreement earlier this year, according to a company press release. They have plans to open two additional locations in Matthew and Harrisburg, N.C.
"After falling in love with the Wingstop brand and food in Kingsville, Texas, we are excited to introduce a great concept and wings to the Charlotte area," said Acosta. "With two more locations on the horizon, this is the beginning of a wonderful and exciting journey."
The chain also opened a location this week in Bakersfield, Calif., at 2600 Oswell St. The new Oswell location is the second to open in Bakersfield, and the 149th in the Golden State. The new restaurant is under the direction of Clinton Lewis, who also operates the other Bakersfield location.
