Wingstop UKI, the restaurant brand that doesn’t play when it comes to flavour, opens its second site in Reading today. To celebrate the highly anticipated opening, the first 100 people through the door will receive free chicken wings.
Located in Reading Gate Retail Park, one of the town’s largest and most-visited retail destinations, the new 3,722 sq. ft site will host 106 covers. Reading Gate pulls in a high footfall crowd of shoppers, diners and local match-day fans from Reading FC, making it the ideal spot to bring Wingstop UKI’s bold, flavour-packed menu.
Diners can expect the full menu of wings, tenders, burgers and sides all cooked to order and hand-sauced-and-tossed in Wingstop UKI’s bold flavours, including the brand-new Dragon’s Breath, available for a limited time only. Milkshakes, freestyle drinks, Camden Town Beer, and churros are also on offer.
The opening marks Wingstop UKI’s second site in Reading, following the success of its restaurant at The Oracle Shopping Centre. Wingstop UKI currently operates 92 sites across the UK and Ireland, employing over 3,000 people, with plans to grow to as many as 200 sites within the next five years.
The brand’s popularity is driven by its standout product and culture-led marketing that resonates with a younger audience. From music and fashion to sport, Wingstop UKI continues to build cultural relevance through authentic collaborations, events, and partnerships.
Chris Sherriff, CEO at Wingstop UKI, said: “With our Oracle Shopping Centre spot always super busy, we’re excited to open a second site in Reading and bring our flavours to more fans. With its strong student scene, growing community of young professionals and bustling town centre, Reading is the perfect spot for us to expand. We’ve just launched a brand new, limited time only flavour – Dragon’s Breath – so there’s never been better time stop by and try it. A massive thank you to our teams and everyone in Reading who’s shown us love so far.”
