Converse is about to get saucier on the north side of Loop 1604. Permit filings show a new Wingstop is slated for a 1,690‑square‑foot space at 4211 E Loop 1604 N, with work set to kick off in early August and wrap in November. The project pegs tenant improvement costs at roughly $300,000, putting a potential opening on the horizon for the winter season.
Permit details and timeline
According to the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation, project TABS2026016923 registers a Wingstop tenant improvement at 4211 E LOOP 1604 N with a listed start date of Aug. 2, 2026 and a completion date of Nov. 10, 2026. The filing details a 1,690‑square‑foot renovation with an estimated cost of $300,000 and names "Charles Loflin c/o Cody Thornton" as the tenant, while Unbranded Partners 1604 LLC appears as the property owner. Design and accessibility contacts on record include Wilkus Architects and registered accessibility specialist Jeffrey A. Gutknecht.
Where Wingstop fits the market
Wingstop has been in full expansion mode, with industry coverage noting the chain surpassed 3,000 restaurants worldwide late last year. As Restaurant Dive reports, growth has remained brisk even as comparable‑sales trends shift. Local reporting from What Now San Antonio points out that Texas is one of Wingstop's deepest states, and the San Antonio area already counts roughly 30 Wingstop locations. On its corporate site, Wingstop spells out the brand pitch clearly: "We're not in the wing business. We're in the flavor business."
What the permit shows about the build
The TDLR record outlines a tenant‑funded interior overhaul that includes demolition, new partitions, wall and floor finishes, new equipment, and upgraded lighting and mechanical systems, all typical for a quick‑serve restaurant fit‑out. The filing does not detail seating arrangements or a drive‑thru, and the relatively modest square footage points to a compact footprint. With the permit registered, plan review and inspections are the next formal steps before construction can begin under the late‑2026 schedule.
