“Wingstop aspires to be a Top 10 Global Restaurant Brand and is expanding rapidly nationwide with tremendous whitespace ahead in the Topeka area,” said a Wingstop spokesperson. “We believe that everyone should have a chance to try our signature 12 flavors that put Wingstop in a category of one, and we’re excited to see Wingstop become a favorite, go-to spot for flavor in the community.”
