Official opening date for Wingstop opening in Bradford

It was confirmed in early September that fast-serve fried chicken chain Wingstop would be opening a branch in Bradford later in 2024.

The new Wingstop, which specialises in chicken wings in a variety of flavours, is located just outside The Broadway, Bradford, in the unit that was occupied by Chilli Flames until it closed earlier this year.

The Broadway announced at the end of last month that Wingstop would open in "early December" but an official date has now been confirmed.

The green-shaded design on the other windows has been removed on this panel, to showcase the digital sign, which means people have a clear view into the new restaurant.

Several curious members of the public could be seen peering into the unit when the Telegraph & Argus passed on Saturday evening.

Wingstop already has three branches in Leeds.

Stormzy and YouTube star KSI are just two of many famous names who are big fans of the chain.

The Broadway, Bradford general manager, Ian Ward, said when announcing Wingstop's arrival in September: “Wingstop is an incredibly popular eatery and we’re very proud to say it’s chosen The Broadway to open its first franchise to Bradford. 

“It’s expected to open pre-Christmas and also just before Bradford becomes the City of Culture in 2025 which will put a spotlight on the city and The Broadway as the leading destination to shop in the city."
