Following huge success of their city centre opening earlier this year, the viral chicken shop will be opening a new restaurant inside White Rose Shopping Centre.
If you've take a stroll down Boar Lane recently, then you've most likely spotted huge queues outside Wingstop - the viral fast food chain that has taken the city by storm.
Famous for its fresh wings and tenders, hand-cut seasoned fries, and a huge selection of flavours and sauces that you can coat your chicken in, the chain is now opening its third Leeds site inside White Rose Shopping centre.
Wingstop's popularity rose whilst running a delivery-only dark kitchen near Chapeltown, but as customers flock to the dine-in location on Boar Lane it's clear that the demand for chicken is high.

From hickory smoked barbecue to lemon pepper and the famous mango habanero, there’s a flavour to suit everyone when you’re ordering a Wingstop.
The fast food restaurant is aiming to open a whopping 15 new restaurants this year, with the creation of up to 750 jobs.
Tom Grogan, co-founder of Lemon Pepper Holdings, said: “2024 is going to be our biggest ever year of growth. We are proud to be opening across the country and creating up to 750 new jobs.

“In just five short years as a business, we have certainly made our mark, offering the best-tasting wings in the business alongside an authentic and customised dining experience.
“There is huge momentum, and we are just getting started. We can’t wait for more of the UK to try our delicious food.”
It's clear to see that there is just no stopping this Wingstop.
