Growth figures compare each period with the same period a year earlier. For Q4 2025 the figures in our file are for the full fiscal year, so the sales and same-store cells cover all of 2025, not one quarter. For Q3 2025 Wingstop's release gave the size of sales only as about $1.4 billion.
What the numbers say
Our analysis, using the figures above.
Wingstop is adding restaurants much faster than it is adding sales. The system grew 15.5% in restaurant count over the year to June 27, 2026 (2,818 to 3,255), while system-wide sales rose 5.3%.
US same-store sales were negative in every report in our file: −7.5% (Q2 2026), −8.7% (Q1 2026), −3.3% (Q4 2025, full fiscal year), −5.6% (Q3 2025). With sales still growing and same-store sales falling, the growth is coming from new restaurants, US and international, not from existing US ones selling more. Wingstop's updated 2026 guidance for domestic same-store sales is −6% to −4%.
Digital stayed between 71.6% and 73.2% of system-wide sales across the same four reports, so most orders already come through the app or website. That is why our price surveys use the official ordering page.
The average US restaurant took in about $1.89 million a year in the latest report (domestic average unit volume). That figure comes from Wingstop, and we have not compared it with any other chain.

What these figures do and don't cover
- Same-store sales are for the United States only. Wingstop does not use them for international restaurants.
- The international count includes US territories, as Wingstop reports it.
- The figures come only from Wingstop's own earnings releases. We do not use analyst estimates.
- Q3 2026 results are due in early November; we'll update this page then.
