Wingstop Comp Store Sales Increase For Ninth Consecutive Quarter

RICHARDSON, TX (Wednesday, November 02, 2005) - James Flynn, Wingstop CEO, announced today that the chain has increased comp store sales over the corresponding period a year prior for nine consecutive quarters – starting third quarter 2003 on June 29 and ending third quarter 2005 on September 29.

Flynn says the company’s success and continued strong growth mode can be attributed to dedication from the Wingstop team.

“The entire Wingstop team has really rallied together these last nine quarters,” said Flynn. “We recently announced a major Southern California expansion, hit the $100 million milestone in system-wide sales and celebrated the opening of our 250th location. We continue to raise the bar on service and quality and our brand partners always rise to meet it.”

Wingstop offers restaurants with a nostalgic, aviation-themed atmosphere where the sole focus is on chicken wings. The chain features nine proprietary wing flavors, including Original Hot, Cajun, Atomic, Mild, Teriyaki, Lemon Pepper, Hawaiian, Garlic Parmesan, and our new Hickory Smoked BBQ. The wings are always made-to-order and served steaming hot. Customers also choose from homemade side dishes: fresh-cut seasoned fries, bourbon baked beans, pearl potato salad, creamy cole slaw, vegetable sticks, rolls and assorted dipping sauces.

Wingstop has more than 400 restaurants either open or under development in 25 states and consistently tops industry growth rankings. Wingstop was chosen Festival Favorite Restaurant at the 2005 National Buffalo Wing Festival and their Cajun sauce took first place honors for the Best Creative Spicy Sauce in the festival’s blind taste test. In July 2005, Wingstop ranked number 13 in Restaurant Business’ Top 50 Growth Chains (ranked by percentage increase in units) and was ranked the number one chicken wing chain by Entrepreneur magazine in 2004. Troy Aikman, former Dallas Cowboy and three-time Super Bowl champion, signed on as the chain’s national spokesman in 2003.
