Local Wingstop operators, Pam McWhorter and Jacqui LeClair, receive a prestigious Top Gun award

Wingstop Recognizes Its Top Performers In 28 States
 

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

PRLog (Press Release)Apr 29, 2008 – LEWISVILLE, Texas –  Wingstop announced today the winners of its first annual Top Gun Awards. Local Wingstop operators, Pam McWhorter and Jacqui LeClair, received one of the 32 awards, out of more than 350 stores nationwide.

The partner’s store is located at 2305 S State Highway 121 and can be reached at (972) 459-7100. To achieve the award the franchisee had to have a 96 average for the year in their mystery shop scores and a 96 average in their Quality, Service, Cleanliness evaluations done by Wingstop franchise business consultants.

“"It has been very rewarding to be able to give back to the local communities and schools that are so faithful to our Wingstop locations,” said LeClair. “We truly appreciate our customer base and always want to do our best in providing the best wing product and customer care."

Pam McWhorter and Jacqui LeClair own four DFW Wingstops; the Lewisville store won the prestigious Top Gun Award.  McWhorter and LeClair were the very first Wingstop franchisees when they opened the Highland Village, Texas.  Pam was a school teacher of 17 years and Jacqui was with FedEx.  They decided to invest their retirements and take a chance on little known company back in the early 1990’s called Wingstop. Now there are more than 60 stores in the metroplex.

“Nicholas Martinez is our manager for the Lewisville location and he has been with us for more than eight years,” said McWhorter.  “He’s a huge reason for this store’s success.”

The Top Gun Awards were established by the chain to recognize the best of the best operators in the Wingstop system. The name alludes to the Navy’s term for their top pilots, a tribute to the chain’s aviation theme. It was designed to keep system-wide focus on the basics of strong operations: great food, service and clean restaurants, says Scott Lack, Wingstop senior franchise business consultant and developer of the Top Gun program.

“2007 was our first full year with the program and we know it works well because the Top Gun winners’ sales averages outperformed the company’s,” said Lack. “This proves the basis of the program, specifically, strong operations boost sales.”

About Wingstop:
