New Wingstop Planned for Converse, State Filing Shows $300,000 Buildout on Loop 1604
Another national restaurant appears to be on the way to Converse.
A project filed with the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation shows plans for a new Wingstop at 4211 E. Loop 1604 N, Converse, TX 78109, giving residents an early look at another commercial addition along one of the city’s most active corridors. The filing was registered on April 6, 2026, and lists the project as a $300,000 renovation and alterationin Bexar County.
According to the state record, the proposed restaurant would involve a tenant improvement of an existing building to support a new occupancy. The filing says the work includes demolition as needed, new interior partitions, wall, floor and ceiling finishes, new equipment, lighting, electrical systems and mechanical work. The project is listed at 1,690 square feet, with a projected start date of Aug. 2, 2026, and a completion date of Nov. 10, 2026.
For Converse, the filing points to continued commercial activity along the Loop 1604 corridor, an area that has seen steady interest from retailers and restaurants as the city and surrounding communities continue to grow. A new quick-service restaurant may seem like a small project on paper, but additions like this often matter in practical ways for residents, adding another nearby dining option for families, commuters and workers who rely on convenient stops close to home.
Wingstop itself is a Texas-rooted brand with a long footprint in the fast-casual restaurant market. The company says it was founded in 1994 and is headquartered in Dallas, with more than 3,000 restaurants worldwide. Wingstop describes its business as specializing in cooked-to-order chicken, with a menu built around wings, tenders, sandwiches, signature sides and 12 bold flavors.

That brand recognition helps explain why a project like this can draw attention before any official opening announcement is made. In growing suburban communities such as Converse, familiar restaurant names often become part of the broader story of local change, especially along major roadways where new retail and dining options tend to cluster.
It is worth noting that a TDLR filing is a construction record, not a public grand opening notice. Still, these state filings often provide one of the earliest public signs that a business is moving forward with a location, including where it will be, what kind of work is planned and when construction is expected to begin. In this case, the filing shows the project status as review complete.
For now, the clearest takeaway is that a new Wingstop is planned for Converse, with construction details now publicly visible through the state’s project database. If the current timeline holds, residents could see work moving ahead later this year at the Loop 1604 site.
