Wingstop UK has opened its fifth location in Leeds, marking the occasion by giving free chicken wings to the first 100 customers through the door.
Situated in The Springs retail and leisure centre, the new 3,014 sq ft Wingstop UK location offers seating for 77 guests and has created 50 jobs for the local community. The restaurant serves the full Wingstop UK menu — including wings, tenders, burgers, and sides — along with a limited-edition Mango Habanero milkshake.
This launch marks Wingstop UK’s fifth location in Leeds, joining its sites at Cardigan Fields Leisure Park, White Rose Shopping Centre, Boar Lane, and its delivery kitchen.
Earlier this year, The Sunday Times 100 named Wingstop UK the fastest-growing restaurant group in the country for the third consecutive year — a reflection of its rapid expansion and continued success. The brand is on track for a record year, with 20 new openings planned by the end of 2025.
Wingstop UK’s popularity is fuelled by its signature menu and culture-led marketing that connects strongly with younger audiences. Through authentic collaborations, events, and partnerships spanning music, fashion, and sport, the brand continues to grow its cultural relevance.
Chris Sherriff, CEO at Wingstop UK, said: “We’ve seen phenomenal demand for Wingstop UK in Leeds, which is why we’re thrilled to be opening our fifth site in the city. Expanding into such a vibrant destination for food and drink, like The Springs, is a natural next step and cements our status as the number one flavour destination in Leeds. We’re grateful for the continued love and support from our local community, as we bring our menu to an even broader audience.”
Gemma Chidgey, Estates Manager at The Springs, said: “We are thrilled to be welcoming Wingstop to the scheme this week and very proud to be the latest opening in Leeds! The new restaurant will add to our already strong line-up of food and drink brands at The Springs, and we know it will prove popular with our customers and occupiers alike.”
