As you can see in the link above, last year the Outpost reported that a developer was planning on turning Broadway-front property that once contained the decrepit old Pine Motel into a Subway sandwich store and a Starbucks.

However, that has changed. Come word today that the new plan is to turn it into a Wingstop and a Starbucks, and they’re shooting to have it up and running by the spring of next year!

Wingstop, if you didn’t know, is a chicken wing thing with lots of sauces.

Press release from LR&E Companies:

LRE & Companies, a full spectrum real estate development, asset manager, construction, and hotel management company, has partnered with Wingstop on a project that will bring the popular restaurant to the highly anticipated project located at 2411 Broadway. This will be the first Wingstop location in Humboldt County. “Wingstop is a brand that is well-known and attracts many customers—but it has yet to come to this area,” says Akki Patel, CEO of LRE & Companies. “I am thrilled that local residents and visitors will be able to enjoy the food and service that has made Wingstop such a hit through this project.” 2411 Broadway Street, just off of US 101, is the gateway to Eureka’s community. Once the site of an abandoned, aging motel, this prominent space will soon be welcoming other exciting businesses, including Starbucks, to this new retail hub that will be completed by Spring 2024.

“Wingstop has chosen Eureka as an ideal market to locate a new store,” reads a statement from Wingstop. “We are enthusiastic to co-tenant with the Starbucks drive-thru in this great location and bring our exceptional chicken wings and sandwiches to Eureka.”

Wingstop quickly became a fan favorite when it first opened its doors in 1994. In 1997, the company began offering franchises. Today it is one of the fastest-growing concepts in the country, with more than 2,000 Wingstop restaurants open across the globe. Eureka will soon be among their newest locations.

“We are excited to create a place for residents to gather, have a meal, and enjoy some coffee in this convenient and central location in Eureka,” said Patel. “And we look forward to bringing more brands to this great community.” 

With more than two decades of experience and fostering strong partnerships with cities and companies, LRE & Companies specializes in identifying opportunities in smaller markets by understanding the unique gaps in growing communities, and bringing in the right brands to fill those gaps.

The project at 2411 Broadway is one of two current projects that LRE & Companies is currently working on in Eureka. Eureka Gateway project, located at 1905 5th Street, will feature an exciting new tenant that will occupy the 2,400-square-foot space with a drive-thru next door to Starbucks. Eureka Gateway is located off Highway 101, with access and visibility from 4th and 5th streets, and T and U streets.

Recently Saturday Night Live goofed on a fictional chain similar to Wingstop in that it serves wings.
