Wingstop’s menu also features signature sides including seasoned fries and freshly-made ranch and bleu cheese dips.

The new split-level restaurant will have a seating capacity of over 70 covers.

The new site will initially generate a number of new jobs for local residents with the aim of creating more job opportunities as Covid restrictions ease.

The opening hours to the Broad Street entrance of the Oracle Centre were extended to accommodate the operations of Wingstop, and the restaurant will operate between Monday to Saturday 11.00am – 11.00pm and Sunday 11.00am – 10.30pm.
