In late June, Brand Partner Djoumey Diallo opened his first Wingstop restaurant in Brooklyn, New York. Located at 1270 Fulton St., it is the third Wingstop restaurant in Brooklyn and is the first of three planned restaurants in Diallo’s multi-unit development agreement. “Wingstop is beginning to grow and gain new fans in New York, and it’s great to be a part of the expansion here,” saide Diallo. The 20-year old Dallas, Texas-based chain has more than 650 restaurants open across the United States, Mexico, Russia, Singapore and the Philippines, with locations coming soon to the United Arab Emirates. The menu features classic and boneless cooked to order chicken wings and strips in various flavors. About ten more locations are scheduled to open shortly across the country including the chain’s first location in New Jersey. The unit is scheduled to open 178B Elmora Ave. near Pennington St., in Elizabeth in Union County, part of the New York metro area. Earlier in the year, Wingstop’s Chief Development Officer Dave Vernon reported plans to significantly expand its presence in the Northeast by opening at least 25 new restaurants in the New Jersey area over the next five years. Wingstop Restaurants Inc. is owned by affiliates of Roark Capital Group, the Atlanta-based private equity firm.
