Wingstop Reports Q1 Revenue Growth But Same-Store Sales Decline Due to Weather and Consumer Pressures
Wingstop reported a 7% revenue increase in Q1 2026, driven by unit expansion, but same-store sales fell 8.7%, marking the seventh consecutive quarter of declining comps. The company attributed the weakness to harsh winter weather and inflationary pressures affecting lower-income consumers. Full-year same-store sales guidance was revised to a low-single-digit decline.
