Wingstop, Pressured by Chicken Crunch, Starts Thighstop Brand
- Processed chicken supplies have fallen amid worker shortage
- CEO says ‘there’s a real supply constraint out there’
Wingstop Inc. is paying more for chicken wings, which are increasingly hard to come by. In response, it’s creating a new delivery and carryout brand, Thighstop.
The move will let Wingstop save money by buying whole birds, instead of just the wings and breasts, which are seeing supplies dwindle amid a dearth of staff at chicken-processing plants.
