At over 2,000 restaurants in the United States, Wingstop fans savor cooked-to-order chicken wings and this summer, the franchise is bringing what it offers to the people of Paris with the pop-up House of Flavor, or Maison des Saveurs.
This pop-up restaurant in the heart of Paris is open to the public for a limited time in July and August, teasing the experiences to be had at the first Wingstop restaurants in Paris, expected later in 2024. The activation is set to attract more than 50,000 visitors, who will savor free wings, hand-sauced and tossed in five iconic Wingstop flavors, and served with a side of seasoned fries and freshly made ranch.
On-site, guests will be treated to 3x3 basketball showdowns, breakdance performances, dance battles, streaming of sporting events and more.
