Northwest Houston is getting a fresh hit of lemon pepper. Wingstop is building out a new location at 9213 West Road, Suite 100, with a spring opening on the horizon and local franchisee GSR Group steering the project. The spot will add another pickup-and-delivery-focused wing option to the busy West Road retail strip near I-45.

What’s Opening Where

According to What Now Houston, the restaurant is locked in for 9213 West Road, Suite 100, and construction is already underway. The outlet reports that GSR's Danielle DeVille is serving as director of construction, while partner Rahul Agrawal is helping lead development in the area.

Franchisee Behind the Buildout

GSR Group lists Rahul Agrawal on its team and regularly highlights recent Wingstop openings. Local business records also connect Agrawal to GSR Restaurants and multiple Wingstop franchises, as shown on the BBB.

Where It Fits Locally

The new Wingstop is slated for the West Road Collection at the northwest corner of I-45 and West Road, a shopping hub anchored by Best Buy, Home Depot, and Starbucks, according to a Transwestern leasing flyer. That brochure lists a 1,545-square-foot space for Wingstop, signaling a compact carryout-and-delivery setup that tracks with the chain’s recent openings.

Wingstop’s Growth and What to Expect

Wingstop announced it had surpassed 3,000 restaurants worldwide in late 2025, highlighting the brand’s rapid growth, per a company press release. On its website, the chain leans into a delivery-friendly model and a “flavor-first” pitch, centering the menu on hand-sauced bone-in and boneless wings, sides, and signature dips. In other words, expect sauce-covered takeout bags and a steady stream of delivery drivers in that parking lot.

Timeline and Next Steps

A firm grand-opening date has not been set, but company and local listings indicate the team is targeting a spring debut, according to What Now Houston. The Northwest Houston project follows other Wingstop activity in the region, including a Kingwood wing hub, underscoring that franchise interest in Houston’s suburban retail corridors is still running hot.
