Wingstop opens first Sheffield site amid ongoing expansion

Wingstop UKI has opened its first site in Sheffield amid the chain’s ongoing expansion.

The new 4,585 sq. ft site hosts 114 covers and is located in the Oasis Dining Quarter at Meadowhall, a shopping and leisure destination in Yorkshire.

Located three miles from Sheffield city centre and directly connected by tram and rail, Meadowhall attracts millions of visitors every year.

The latest opening marks a continuation of Wingstop UKI’s growth strategy, including recently announced plans to launch in Ireland. 

The brand currently operates 77 sites across the UK and employs over 3,000 people, with plans to grow to as many as 200 sites within the next five years.  

Chris Sherriff, CEO at Wingstop UKI, said: “We’re thrilled to finally open our first Wingstop in Sheffield at Meadowhall. It’s such a great location that brings together shopping, entertainment and great food – the perfect place for us to join the city. 

“I’m incredibly proud of the team who made this happen and grateful to all our fans across Yorkshire who’ve been waiting for this one. We can’t wait to welcome everyone in and share our bold flavours with Sheffield.”

Darren Pearce, centre director at Meadowhall, added: “The opening of Wingstop UKI at Meadowhall adds a bold new flavour to our strong and diverse dining offer. The news of their arrival sparked a huge reaction from fans, reflecting the viral popularity the brand has built, and it’s exciting to see that anticipation turn into reality with their doors now open. 

“Their distinctive menu and cult following make them a standout addition, and we’re confident they’ll be a huge hit with visitors from Sheffield and beyond.”
