Oct. 06--Construction is underway for the newest addition to the Palestine restaurant scene. A new Wingstop will be opening its doors near the end of October, according to BSG Wing Group brand manager Rodney Norman.
"I have had nothing but positive feedback from everyone," Norman said. "As soon as I parked that Wingstop (vehicle) out there, I'll get four or five people stop by and yell out the window, 'We're so happy you're here.' So it's nothing but good responses so far. We're pretty positive that it's going to be a good spot for us."
While the community has shared its excitement, there is some concern about the location. According to city Development Services Director Jeffrey Lyons, the company moved the front door of the establishment to meet the city's requirements for the sale of alcohol. The city requires the front door of any establishment that sells alcohol to be 300 feet away from the front door of a school. City Secretary Teresa Herrera said that Wingstop has already sent an application to the Texas Alcoholic Beverage Commission.
Palestine Independent School District Superintendent Jason Marshall said that the district welcomed new business to the city but held a concern about the impact of the sale of alcohol near the campus.
"Palestine ISD is a business-friendly school district, and the district is very appreciative of businesses for coming to Palestine and investing in the community," Marshall said. "The district's only concern with the opening of the Wingstop restaurant is that the restaurant will be selling consumable alcohol on site and in a location that shares a busy intersection with a school campus."
The new restaurant will take over the previous Radio Shack location in Palestine Plaza. Norman said that the company had been looking for a location for months before finding the current one.
"We wanted in this shopping center," Norman said. "We've looked at several sites, and this was the one we wanted. There was nothing available here for a while, and this (Radio Shack) was the first thing that we had seen in the last six months."
Currently, the company is working on renovations to the location. Norman said that the location will hold a soft opening before officially opening for business on a date that has yet to be set.
The company expects Wing Stop to bring nearly 20 jobs to the area mainly cashiers and cooks. Applications can be found both online at www.wingstop.com or on location this week according to Norman.
