The former Pizza Hut in Eastfield Way has been closed since October last year, but now looks set to become a Wingstop restaurant.<\/p>\n
The well-known restaurant chain Wingstop – famed for its chicken wings – is definitely coming to Inverness.<\/p>\n
Highland News & Media first broke the news last month<\/a><\/strong> that a newly-lodged building warrant<\/a><\/strong> appeared to show that Wingstop was looking to take over the site of the former Pizza Hut<\/a><\/strong> in Inverness Shopping Park.<\/p>\n There was no official confirmation from Wingstop at that time.<\/p>\n But now job vacancies have gone live through links from Wingstop’s official UK website<\/a><\/strong> advertising positions for a general manage<\/a><\/strong>r and an assistant manager<\/a><\/strong> at a \u201cbrand-new Wingstop restaurant\u201d in Inverness – and confirming an address in the Inverness Shopping Park in Eastfield Way.<\/p>\n The address, which is listed as \u201cUnit F2\u201d at the retail park, matches that of the former Pizza Hut site.<\/p>\n No closing date appears on those vacancies, so there’s no indication yet as to when the new Wingstop will open.<\/p>\n But fans of the fast food chain’s famous buffalo wings will no doubt be delighted that the firm is definitely seeking to expand into the Highland capital.<\/p>\n The US restaurant chain, which launched in Garland, Texas in 1994, today has more than 1500 outlets around the world. These include seven restaurant and delivery-only sites in Scotland. Most of these are located in the central belt, although there is also a restaurant in Aberdeen. Inverness will take the count up to eight.<\/p>\n
