Construction is starting to take shape as Wingstop gets set to open. The building between Sports Direct and Flannels is now all covered in dark green, with posters across saying ‘we run the wing game’ and ‘Coventry flavour incoming’. The franchise has built a strong reputation across the UK, with two stores in neighbouring Birmingham

Wingstop is a fast-food restaurant specialising in chicken wings. Customers can choose various flavours for their meals, including crispy tenders, boneless wings, and classic wings.

The chain has over 1,500 restaurants including the UAE, Malaysia, Mexico, the United States and Indonesia.
