Far West Restaurant Group, LLC opened the new location at 5910 Del Amo Blvd. (corner of Woodruff Avenue and Del Amo Boulevard). This is Far West’s second Wingstop, the first is at 6810 Eastern Ave. in Bell Gardens and Far West has three additional locations scheduled to open in the next three months in Cerritos, Lynwood and East Los Angeles.
“This new Wingstop is in an excellent location on the corner of two high-traffic streets with great visibility,” said Daniel Sonenshine, president of Far West. “Jorge Ortiz, our vice president of operations, handles our new store openings and daily operations. With his top-notch leadership and expertise, I’m confident the new stores will be successful.”
In addition to the signature wings, the Lakewood location will also be serving Wingstop’s new 100 percent, all-white meat chicken breast boneless wings. Wingstop selected the new wings, which feature a proprietary batter and breading recipe along with marinated breast meat, after extensive research into the consumer market for chicken products. The boneless wings are available in any of Wingstop’s nine proprietary wing flavors or unsauced with your choice of dipping sauces.
The new Wingstop is open from 11 a.m. to midnight daily. The wings are always prepared fresh and make an excellent choice for catered events such as office parties, family gatherings and sporting events.
