I used to eat Wingstop all the time, they’re a little too pricey now, and the last couple of times that I went sometime last year, the wings were a little inconsistent. As to where before they were very consistent, but after watching this, I’ll give them another shot. I do think wings is one of those things that is very hard to get right when you do it pays, I currently go to two wing spots that I love and I probably go there at least twice a month to each. Every once in a while, I venture out to try new wings at other places, but they never meet my expectations.

[@Nicolem-22]

Rick Ross is the key reason to wing stop success amongst young people! Rick Ross is really why we know wing stop. To not give him credit in this episode is crazy work!

[@mrboatshoe]

It's because If they say he had anything to do with their success then they might have to give him a piece of the pie so to speak. Remember when the Popeyes chicken sandwich went crazy and the CEO said it was because of their hard work but really it was because all of the memes on the internet

Yeah, not only did price, deals and such go up. Quality went down, kitchens understaffed when Ubereats and other apps did partner deals with Wingstop. Mom and pop wing spots, that may or may not be around or near you are way better. Country or hood catfish, chicken spots are way better and consistent. In short, Wingstop fell off. Shareholders and PE firms love it though.

[@vaneh6982]

I will short their stock, reasons aside for macro are written in responses in comments here

[@xPXGx]

I think part of the success of their franchising model is that they eliminate a lot of the riff raff. In order to be a franchisee, you need a minimum net worth of $1.2 million and at least $600,000 in cash. Compare that to Subway, where you only need a net worth of $80,000, with at least $40,000 of it in cash. It looks like Wing Stop is intentionally only vetting those with prior/ existing franchise experience. Or at the very least, those with substantial capital, that more or less proves they have some sort of business savvy.

[@AnkurYo]

Even while $300k mightt seem like much, one bad decision might seriously deplete it. As such, exercise extreme caution in where and how you invest. It is advisable to diversify while retaining 70-80% in secure investments. Along with your budget, you should think about financial advising.
