Wingstop is set to fly and land in Converse this winter. According to a recently filed permit, the beloved chicken wings eatery is anticipated to open in Bexar County at 4211 E LOOP 1604 N.

Construction on the new Wingstop is expected to start at the beginning of August and wrap up by November of this year. If all goes well with construction and permitting, the E. Loop 1604 N location will be dishing out wings by this winter.

Charles Loflin and Cody Thorton are listed on the permit. What Now San Antonio attempted to reach out to Loflin, but did not hear back by the time of this publication. What Now San Antonio also reached out to Wingstop franchisee Thorton, but did not hear back by the time of this publication.

While there are a little more than 30 Wingstop locations in San Antonio, Texas has the highest concentration of Wingstop locations in the United States, with more than 450 stores. Wingstop surpassed 3,000 restaurants throughout the world late last year and is continuing to grow.

“We’re not in the wing business. We’re in the flavor business. It’s been our mission to serve the world flavor since we first opened shop in ’94, and we’re just getting started,” the Wingstop website reads.

“1997 saw the opening of our first franchised Wingstop location, and by 2002, we had served the world one billion wings. It’s flavor that defines us and has made Wingstop home to the #1 Wings in the United States* and one of the fastest growing brands in the restaurant industry.”

Wingstop offers a variety of boneless and bone-in wings with varying degrees of heat, dipping sauces to cool it down, veggies to clean the palette, and a host of sides and drinks to make any meal complete.

The new Wingstop set to come to Converse in Bexar County is expected to open at 4211 E LOOP 1604 N by this winter.
