A popular American fast food chain is coming to Cardiff. Wingstop, which specialises chicken wings, is expected to open in the Brewery Quarter in late April or early May this year.
It will replace the former Busaba, a Thai restaurant that closed down after little more than a year. It will be the first Wingstop in Wales, with the company operating and franchising more than 1,700 locations worldwide.
Lemon Pepper Holdings Ltd, the UK master franchisee and brand partner of Wingstop Restaurants Inc., has confirmed it has signed the new lease in Cardiff. As of March this year, it owns and operates 30 Wingstop locations across the UK, including major cities like Manchester, Birmingham, Edinburgh, Glasgow and London.
