35 High Tension
The Silent Giant
Analysis

Up 10.62% with a Business score of 75 and Cultural score of 40 — Wingstop keeps winning in a QSR category that has no business being this interesting. Digital ordering, loyalty architecture, and chicken wings are apparently a formula. Not glamorous. Not supposed to be. Just relentlessly profitable.
