Dallas, Texas-based Wingstop Inc. has signed a 35-unit development agreement with Sizzling Platter, a Utah-based restaurant management company that presently operates more than 340 restaurant restaurants globally. This development agreement will see Wingstop continue to grow its national footprint along the East Coast, with new restaurants planned for Washington, D.C. and Virginia, in addition to Salt Lake City, Utah. Sizzling Platter currently operates restaurants in eleven states and multiple countries. With the addition of Wingstop, Sizzling Platter will now have five brands across their concept portfolio, including Little Caesars, Dunkin’ Donuts, Red Robin and Sizzler. “This is a unique agreement for our company,” said Charlie Morrison, Wingstop’s President, CEO, “as we typically focus on smaller agreements to drive expansion. Sizzling Platter is a well-respected and proven franchisee of multiple brands and we believe their deep expertise in day to day execution and commitment to superior customer service make them the right partner for us.” Wingstop currently operates and franchises over 800 restaurants across the United States, Mexico, Russia, Singapore, the Philippines, Indonesia, and the United Arab Emirates. The menu features cooked-to-order classic and boneless wings with bold, distinctive flavors along with house-made sides including hand-cut, seasoned fries.
