Rick Ross responsible for Wingstop coming to Philly
"My son said 'Dad, if Rick Ross has a Wingstop, you need one, too.'"
Rick Ross responsible for Wingstop coming to Philly
Last September we mentioned that Wingstop, the national chicken chain pitchmanned by Troy Aikman (booooooo), was targeting the Philly market heavily. Now comes word from the company that Philly franchisee Richard Johnson has signed up to open eight Wingstops in the area. Right now he's scouting in Roxborough, Wyncote and the Northeast for locations (there's already one at Temple). So what motivated Johnson, a prolific McDonald's franchisee, to run with Wingstop? One of Team Meal Ticket's favorite rappers, of course:
Johnson first heard about Wingstop on the radio while driving around Philadelphia with his youngest son, Tristan.
"My son and I were in the car, listening to the radio, and we heard a DJ talking about Rick Ross opening a Wingstop franchise in Memphis,” he remembers. “My son said 'Dad, if Rick Ross has a Wingstop, you need one, too.'"
