Wingstop, a leading national fast-casual brand, has signed a 1,848-square-foot lease at Rutgers Plaza, a 268,000-square-foot Stop & Shop-anchored shopping center at the intersection of Easton Avenue and JFK Boulevard in Franklin Township, Somerset County, N.J.
The Wingstop signing is the latest in a series of recent deals at the center, which also includes MAWJ, a new coffee and espresso concept, and Bounce Air Adventure Park, announced earlier this year.
Ed Vasconcellos, leasing representative at LMC, negotiated both the Wingstop and MAWJ transactions on behalf of ownership. Marta Villa of CBRE represented Wingstop in the lease.
Wingstop continues to expand its footprint in New Jersey, where it operates more than 50 locations statewide.
“Wingstop is a great addition to Rutgers Plaza’s tenant mix,” Vasconcellos said. “The brand has strong consumer recognition and delivers exactly what today’s diners are looking for — quality, value and convenience. That’s a win for the center and for the community it serves.”
Rutgers Plaza’s tenant mix includes Crunch Fitness, Dollar Tree, Chase Bank, GNC, McDonald’s, Venus Jewelers, and a diverse blend of restaurant, service, and convenience-oriented retailers. The center will soon welcome Bounce Air Adventure Park, an entertainment destination currently in development at the property.
