Wingstop's CEO, Michael Skipworth, mentioned that the company's stable pricing strategy has yielded positive results, showcasing how disciplined menu pricing can lead to sustained success even in inflated markets.
Yum! Brands' CEO, David Gibbs, stated that providing consumers with affordable options is now more critical than ever, reflecting a shift in strategy as price sensitivity rises among customers.
