The flavor-focused brand celebrates its growing NYC footprint
and return of the Wingstop Chicken Sandwich with exclusive
giveaways to fans across the city, starting on October 18
NEW
YORK, Oct. 17, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Wingstop
(NASDAQ: WING) – the rapidly-expanding flavor brand with nine
restaurants across Manhattan alone
– announced can't-miss giveaways at several locations across the
New York City area today. The
first 50 fans at various locations will receive "Free Chicken
Sandwiches for a Year" in the form of a gift card.
The giveaway comes on the heels of Wingstop's entrance into the
Chicken Sandwich game. When first launched in August, the sandwich
was in such high demand that four weeks of supply sold out in a
matter of days across the country. Now – with supply built up and
proven consumer demand – Wingstop has brought their
cooked-to-order, hand sauced-and-tossed Chicken Sandwich back to
New York City with a craveable
giveaway to lucky fans.
The first 50 fans in line at the following restaurants starting
at 6 p.m. ET* on the dates
below will receive the free sandwich giveaway:
- Tuesday, Oct. 18 – 86
Delancey St.
- Wednesday, Oct. 19 –
2665 Broadway – Grand Opening event
- Thursday, Oct. 20 –
935 8th Ave.
- Friday, Oct. 21 – 80
Carmine St. – Grand Opening event
"Wingstop has one of the most loyal fanbases in the restaurant
game, and we're ready to bolster this devoted fandom in NYC," said
Donnie Upshaw, Wingstop's Chief
People Officer and SVP of Corporate Restaurants. "We're serving up
some serious flavor in the area and dialing up our brand swagger to
match the fast moving, culture-driven city that's our backdrop. To
get your hands on our flavorful Chicken Sandwiches for a full year,
you don't want to miss this!"
The "Free Chicken Sandwiches for a Year" giveaway is granted in
the form of $350 Wingstop gift cards
– valued greater than the current dine-in price of one a la carte
Chicken Sandwich, hand-sauced-and-tossed in the flavor of the fans'
choosing, each week for a full year.**
Even if not among the first lucky 50, fans can find their new
favorite Chicken Sandwich at Wingstop, offered in 12 bold,
distinctive flavors on Wingstop.com or the Wingstop app. The a la
carte Wingstop Chicken Sandwich with a dip costs only $5.49, and fans craving the combo can get the
sandwich and dip alongside hand-cut fries and a drink for just
$7.99.
*No lineups before 2 p.m.
ET on specified days. Limit one Wingstop gift card per
guest.
**Price includes tax ($5.98/week), good for 52 weeks, excluding any
gratuities and applicable delivery fees or charges. Restrictions
apply. See location for full details.
