Read our privacy policy Four bidders, including Domino’s Pizza, are circling to snap up fried chicken chain Wingstop’s UK operation. US investment group Sixth Street and private equity firms KKR and TSG Consumer Partners are also targeting a potential takeover deal. The growing popularity for Wingstop comes amid continued growth by chicken chains in the UK, with Popeyes also rapidly opening new sites and new players such as Dave’s Hot Chicken and Chick-fil-A entering the market. In an investor presentation last December, Domino’s said that it would focus on growing its core pizza business but would also consider taking on a second brand if it saw “synergies” with its existing assets.
