🎉 Wingstop Celebrates Opening of Its 100th Location 🎉

We are proud to announce a significant milestone in our continued growth: the successful opening of our 100th Wingstop restaurant in Wichita, Kansas.

This achievement reflects the dedication, passion, and operational excellence that define our organization. Reaching 100 locations is a testament to the hard work of our entire team and our commitment to delivering outstanding service and great food to communities across the region.

We extend our heartfelt congratulations to Erick, Ops Coach, whose leadership and commitment were instrumental in making this landmark opening a reality. We also want to recognize Lead Trainer Kelly Heafner for her outstanding contributions, along with the strong support provided by the OKC and Tulsa crews, who generously traveled to Wichita to ensure a successful launch.

Moments like this highlight the power of our #VibeTribe — a culture built on collaboration, support, and shared success. Thank you to everyone who played a role in this milestone.

As we celebrate 100 stores, we remain excited about the future and look forward to continuing our journey of growth while staying true to the values that have brought us here.

Here’s to many more milestones ahead!

Proud is an understatement today.

VIBE Restaurants has climbed to #65 on the 2026 Restaurant Finance Monitor 200, the ranking of the 200 largest restaurant franchisees in the country. That's five straight years of climbing: #165 in 2022, #150 in 2023, #122 in 2024, #85 in 2025, and #65 in 2026!

But a number on a list isn't built in a boardroom. It's built one shift at a time, by general managers who close strong, coaches who develop their people, and crew members who show up and take pride in the work. We operate Little Caesars, Wingstop, and Whataburger across multiple states, and the through line has always been the same: take care of your people, and the results follow.

That's not a slogan. It's our operating model.

This milestone reflects the vision our founders, Shalin Patel, Irfaan Lalani, and Faisal Lalani, set in motion, and the work of every member of the VIBE team who brings it to life. Thank you. We're just getting started.

🔥 Wingstop #98 is officially OPEN in Crossville, TN! 🔥

That's 98 Wingstops in the Vibe family — and just two away from 100. 🎉

Huge congratulations to the team who made it happen:

GM - Michelle Holloman

NRO Trainer - Avery Montgomery

Operations Coach - John White

By all accounts, they're already rocking and rolling out the gate — which, if you've ever opened a new restaurant, you know is no small thing.

To the entire Crossville team: welcome to the Vibe-Tribe. You're not just opening a restaurant — you're carrying forward everything this company has been built on. The hustle, the heart, the people-first approach that makes Vibe what it is. 

We can't wait to watch you grow.

Two more to 100. Let's go. 💪

Celebrating community, culture, and two amazing years in Midwest City! ✨
