Local Wingstop Franchise Planned

Palestine Herald Press:

With his parents both hailing from Palestine, Tyler businessman Bryan Selden has spent plenty of time visiting family in Anderson County over the years.

As a franchise holder for Wingstop restaurants, Selden wants to return to the Palestine area - with chicken.

Selden has teamed with businessmen David Weaver and Jeff Worthen to open 12 new Wingstop restaurants in East Texas, including Palestine. Other cities on their list include Jacksonville, Corsicana, Tyler, Longview, Henderson, Marshall, Paris, Mount Pleasant, Sulphur Springs, Greenville and Ennis.

‘What we’ve done is bought a territory,’ Selden said. ‘Palestine will be one of our target cities to go in, but we don’t have a specific timetable for any town.’

At this point, he’s searching for the right location, preferably around South Loop 256 and Wal-Mart, he said.
