Wingstop Tests Delivery in Las Vegas
April 18 2017 - 8:15AM
Wingstop Restaurants Inc. (NASDAQ:WING) announced today that it is
testing delivery on its made-to-order, hand-sauced and tossed
wings, fries and sides at select locations in the Las Vegas area.
The Company will be evaluating delivery as a vehicle to augment its
already highly successful business model. As part of the test, the
company is utilizing multiple service providers.
“Restaurant delivery is evolving, and we believe
that it is prudent to see what role it could have for Wingstop. We
remain firmly committed to preserving the quality of our food and
will carefully consider transit time and best methods by which
Wingstop food travels from the restaurant to our fans,” commented
Charlie Morrison, Chairman and CEO of Wingstop. “Many of our loyal
Wingstop guests have been asking for delivery, and we need to take
this opportunity to test delivery and determine what role it could
play in our model. We will only do delivery if we can do right by
our fans.”
The test launched on April 3 and will run
through the middle of summer. The Company will share preliminary,
qualitative feedback on the test during its upcoming earnings call
scheduled for early May.
