American chicken restaurant Wingstop will be opening a new branch in Midsummer Place in Milton Keynes next month.

The retailer will be opening on Midsummer Place’s Boulevard section at 11am on Monday 15th July 2024.

Wingstop will be opening in an outlet formerly occupied by Burger King and located between Zara and Pret a Manger.

Simon Martin, General Manager at Midsummer Place, said, “We are thrilled to announce Wingstop’s opening on Monday 15 July. This addition will complete the Boulevard’s dynamic food and beverage lineup at a time when the better weather arrives, and we see an increase in visits to the centre.”

The Central Milton Keynes location has been confirmed as one of several sites that Lemon Pepper Holdings, the UK franchisee of US brand Wingstop, is planning to open in 2024, which also includes locations in Croydon, Essex, Dudley, and Leeds.

The brand, which makes chicken wings, tenders, burgers, and sides cooked to order, currently operates over 40 UK branches.
