Our feature, “How This Top Operator Delivers Wingstop’s Special Sauce”, highlights the culture and drive that fuel our growth. More than just numbers, this recognition reflects who we are: a people-driven company with a unique voice, flavor, and passion for excellence.
Today, Rise Up Restaurants operates with:
55 corporate locations

Behind these numbers is a culture built on people, pride, and passion. We believe in building champions—developing leaders, celebrating individuality, and rising to every challenge. Our commitment to fresh quality, operational excellence, and a strong sense of community is what continues to push us higher in the quick-service restaurant industry.
We couldn’t have achieved this without the dedication of our teams, the trust of our partners, and the support of our communities. Together, we are rising up—and we’re just getting started.
