DALLAS, Oct. 29, 2020 — Wingstop Inc. (NASDAQ: WING), the award-winning restaurant brand with more than 1,450 locations worldwide is teaming up with delivery partner DoorDash to offer free delivery October 30 through November 13, and again November 27 through December 4, on orders placed through Wingstop.com and the Wingstop app for delivery from participating locations in the US.
“Whether enjoying wings with family and friends or dining solo, Wingstop is the answer to feed all holiday cravings this fall,” chief marketing officer Christina Clarke said. “Our fans crave convenience just like they crave that signature Wingstop flavor, which is why we’ve teamed up with our delivery partner DoorDash to comp delivery fees across the country.”
Don’t let Friday (November) the 13th spook you – sure, that’s the day free delivery ends, but the Wing Experts are back with another free delivery offer beginning November 27 to help fuel all your shopping and post-Thanksgiving needs. Delivery coverage varies by restaurant and the offer is not valid through other delivery service providers.
About the DoorDash Partnership
Following an extensive test with DoorDash, Wingstop launched a nationwide, phased delivery rollout in 2018, which commenced at the end of 2019, resulting in delivery offerings across markets throughout the system. Prior to the nationwide rollout, Wingstop worked diligently with DoorDash in 2017 to craft a mutually beneficial and unique partnership which continues to pay off across both brands. At the onset of COVID-19, the DoorDash team pivoted quickly to accommodate for Wingstop’s overnight shift from 80% to 100% off-premise dining following the closure of Wingstop’s dining rooms, with digital delivery orders nearly doubling from pre-COVID levels to approximately 30% as of Q2 2020.
