Doors ready to open at popular chain Wingstop's Falkirk branch
The opening date for Wingstop in Falkirk has been announced and fans of flavoursome chicken don’t have long to wait.
The popular food chain will open the doors to its new restaurant in the town on Friday, June 26 at 11am.
The local branch has moved into the premises formerly occupied by Pizza Hut in Falkirk Central Retail Park.
Last month signage at the retail park site sparked interest locally as it revealed Wingstop was “incoming”, and now the team are ready to welcome the customers.
Store manager Anita Davidson and the 57 strong crew are excited to be opening.
Morgan MacKenzie, district manager for Wingstop, said: “The team are buzzing, they are so excited.
"We had 425 friends, family and local businesses coming in and trying out the product last night and it went really well.
"There’s been a bit of chat on social media, so we’re expecting some queues from eight or nine o’clock in the morning.
"The first 100 meals tomorrow will be free so we usually do get a bit of a queue, and we’ll officially open the doors at 11am.”
The restaurant is one of a number of new premises opening across the country as Wingstop UK and Ireland continues to expand. The eatery already has branches across Scotland including in Livingston, Dunfermline, Aberdeen, Edinburgh and Glasgow.
The chain’s menu includes chicken wings, tenders, burgers, sides, milkshakes and churros.
Morgan’s advice for anyone who hasn’t experienced Wingstop before is: “We are a brand that has a lot of flavour, that’s what we’re big on.
"We’re bold in terms of what we offer so if they’ve not tried it before I would recommend they come down, have a conversation with the guys that are front of house and on the tills, discuss what they like and maybe don’t like and get to know the flavours.
"We’re big, we’re bold, we serve flavour.
"Our mission is to serve flavours to the world. Come and try some flavours.”
Since launching in the UK in 2018, Wingstop UKI has built a reputation for bold flavours.
It currently operates over 90 sites across the UK and Ireland with more than 3000 employees.
