Wingstop specializes in a mouthwatering range of chicken offerings, including wings, boneless wings, tenders, and sandwiches, with a whopping selection of at least 11 signature sauce flavors to choose from. Don’t even get us started on their famous flavors like lemon pepper, mango habanero, and hickory smoked barbecue.

And speaking of traffic, the new spot is positioned in a high-traffic area, with over 47,000 vehicles passing that section of W. Main Street daily. This is great news for wing lovers who want to grab a bite on the go!
More Locations on the Way
But wait, there’s more! Wingstop isn’t stopping at just one location in Lexington. The brand has plans to unveil two additional spots soon. One is currently under construction at 3080 Richmond Rd. Suite 110, while another location is being eyed at 4101 Tates Creek Centre Dr, conveniently located near a Kroger grocery store. This Richmond Road location is slated to open in January 2025, making it an exciting prospect for fans eagerly awaiting its arrival. Meanwhile, the Tates Creek site is still awaiting further development, but anticipation is already high!
Also on the books is a new location on Woodland Avenue, strategically placed between an existing Subway and the former Lynagh’s Irish Pub, which is undergoing a remodel into a trendy new bar. As of early November, this Woodland Avenue spot is in the permit application stage, indicating more deliciousness is on its way to this vibrant community.
Competition is Heating Up
Now, this isn’t going to be a walk in the park. Wingstop is stepping into a crowded chicken scene, competing against local favorites such as WingKYng and Buffalo Wild Wings. With so many tempting options for chicken wing aficionados, it’ll be interesting to see how Wingstop carves out its niche in Lexington’s culinary landscape.
Interestingly enough, Wingstop has expanded quite impressively across the nation, boasting nearly 2,000 locations in the U.S., and it’s not just in South Carolina. There are several locations already well-established in Kentucky cities like Louisville, Florence, Paducah, and Bowling Green.
In conclusion, it looks like Wingstop is firmly setting its roots in Lexington with its new location and further plans on the horizon. As the expansion continues, locals can look forward to savoring delicious wing flavors that bring people together. Whether you’re dining in or grabbing a quick bite, Wingstop is out to prove that there’s always room for more flavor in Lexington’s dining scene!
