Is there any other chain that has this many locations here? Only Starbucks that I can think of, but I can’t imagine people are going to wingstop for their daily hit of chicken.
Domino’s has five local locations. At one time, KFC had four locations, which included one at Loretto Plaza and where McDonald’s is on the Mesa. Chick-fil-A most likely will be adding at least two more locations as well within SB, and hopefully one in Carpinteria too.
Yeah, we already have at least 3 in the area. Not sure about Turnpike, but there’s the new one by Miner’s off Fairview. Place is gross. Not sure we even have 4 McDonalds in the SB/Goleta area. If we need more fast foods places (we absolutely do not), how about a Burger King or even a Del Taco? We don’t have any of those and at least you can find some, somewhat low calorie foods at Del Taco (grilled chicken tacos).
Wingstop is salty, soggy, nasty. Gross.
