Wingstop joining Gorillas and European Wax Center in this retail space on 14th Street

On Aug. 2, we reported that Gorillas, the on-demand grocery delivery startup, and a European Wax Center were the new retail tenants in the renovated storefronts along 428 E. 14th St. between First Avenue and Avenue A. 

In reporting on this on Thursday, the Commercial Observer had info about a third tenant here: Wingstop, the aviation-themed chain specializing in chicken wings, signed a 10-year lease for 1,700 square feet of space. 

There are currently more than a dozen Wingstop outposts in the NYC metropolitan area. The 14th Street location hasn't turned up yet on Wingstop coming-soon list.

No. 428 has been undergoing a gut renovation ... the previous retail tenants were victims of the L-train work along this corridor

  2. And how are they going to get Patrons to visit when there are 10000 Homeless and Stoned-out people selling all sorts of Nick Nacks in-front of their places?

  3. As more suburbanites take over the neighborhood, corporate chain restaurants are here to feed.

  5. Does any restaurant on 14th street do well? Such a dangerous/sketchy street.
