DALLAS, July 02, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Beginning July 5, Wingstop (NASDAQ: WING) is celebrating 25 years of serving the world flavor. To commemorate this tasty milestone, Wingstop is, for the first time ever, introducing 25 Days of Flavor – a limited-time expanded menu featuring 25 unique flavor options and Wingstop’s exclusive Sprite® Triple Chillin’ Coca-Cola Freestyle® flavor. The celebration builds up to National Chicken Wing Day on July 29, when Wingstop will give fans five free wings with any wing purchase, plus donate $1 per transaction, up to $100,000, back to local communities through Wingstop Charities*.
“For 25 years, Wingstop has served the world flavor with passion and an obsessive commitment to craft, authenticity, and quality,” said Maurice Cooper, Chief Growth and Experience Officer at Wingstop. “25 Days of Flavor is the biggest flavor and product launch in our history, offering variety like never before. This celebration is how we honor our dedicated and loyal fans, by giving them the craveable reward they love most: that signature Wingstop flavor.”
During the 25-day celebration, Wingstop is building on its current flavor offering, including limited time flavors Ancho Honey Glaze and Harissa Lemon Pepper, by introducing six new wing flavors, two new dips, one new side, and an exclusive beverage offering – bringing their total menu to 25 unique flavors in honor of 25 years.

- Available beginning July 19
-- Hot Lemon: This remix of the classics adds the kick of Original Hot to the beloved Lemon Pepper seasoning, creating a combo that’s equal parts zesty and spicy.
