Award-winning, buffalo-style chicken wing restaurant, Wingstop, is opening at Merry Hill next week, with free chicken wings up for grabs.

The new Wingstop site is located on the Upper Mall opposite the recently opened wagamama and a stone’s throw away from Hollywood Bowl. It adds to the centre’s emerging leisure quarter, creating a family-friendly hub for eating and entertainment.

The restaurant will open its doors at 11am on Monday 6 May and will celebrate the occasion by gifting its first 100 diners eight chicken wings each for free.

Wingstop Merry Hill has space for 70 diners, and serves up all of its classic wing collection, alongside a variety of boneless wings, tenders, and chicken burgers, seasoned fries and freshly made dips. The unique flavours cover ten distinct seasonings to suit any taste, from the sweet and tangy Hawaiian to blazing hot Atomic.

Visitors can get their hands on Wingstop UK’s TikTok-famous ‘voodoo loaded fries’, known for its Louisianna flavourings and signature Cajun seasoning, sure to be an instant hit. For those with a sweet tooth, Wingstop has added its brand-new milkshakes to its menu, alongside Oreo or Lotus Biscoff churros, a perfect end to the chicken’s bold flavours. 

The Merry Hill opening is part of Wingstop UK’s nationwide expansion after first launching in the UK back in 2018. This will be its 45th site and creates up to 60 new jobs for the local community.
