Wingstop lands in Tempe

September 6, 2012

Wingstop, which now has more than 515 locations, has opened its newest restaurant in Tempe, Ariz.

"The Tempe community is the perfect spot to open the newest addition to the Wingstop family," Charles Loflin, owner of the new restaurant, said in a press release. "We're excited to continue Wingstop's legacy of cooked-to-order wings and exceptional service with the opening of another convenient location for our Phoenix-area fans."

To celebrate the new opening, Wingstop will host an Arizona State University game day radio remote with KVIB-FM from 5 to 7 p.m. at the Tempe restaurant with giveaways and special offers for fans.

"With football season here, now is the perfect time to introduce new fans to Wingstop," Loflin said. "There's nothing better than watching crowds stop by before the game and pick up wings for the perfect tailgate party."

In addition to the Tempe restaurant, Loflin owns and operates more than 20 Wingstop locations throughout Phoenix, San Antonio and Corpus Christi, Texas. As one of the original Wingstop franchisees, Loflin was the first to expand the concept beyond its hometown of Dallas-Fort Worth.

Wingstop, which recently formed an advertising co-op in the area to support expansion, has another new location expected to open this fall at 5215 West Indian School Road in Phoenix.
