Wingstop started in 1994 as a small wing joint in Garland, Texas, where founder Antonio Swad crafted hand-spun chicken wings in bold, flavorful sauces. Swad’s vision was simple: to perfect the art of wings with a range of mouth-watering flavors. His idea struck a chord, and by 1997, Wingstop began franchising, quickly gaining a loyal following. Today, with over 2,000 locations worldwide, Wingstop continues to bring its signature wings and sauces to flavor-lovers everywhere.
