Work progressing quickly at new Wingstop in Leesburg

It was just a few weeks ago that work got started on the new Wingstop restaurant coming to Leesburg — and now the big exterior sign is up and the interior is taking shape.

Wingstop is coming to the Battlefield Shopping Center off Edwards Ferry Road NE. It’s going into the spot that was previously the Sweetz Bakery.

The sign was recently installed on the facade over the door and construction crews are busy at work in the space.

We talked with one of them who said they are scheduled to finish the work around the end of October.

That’s when the space will get turned over to the new Wingstop Leesburg team who will then need to put any finishing touches on the space, pass all their inspections, hire and train the staff, and prepare for opening day.

No word on how long that process might take, but it seems reasonable to expect Wingstop in Leesburg to open before the end of the year.
