Buffalo Wild Wings®, Inc. (NASDAQ: BWLD), the national sports
grill and bar known for its award-winning Buffalo, NY-style chicken
wings spun in one of 18 mouth-watering signature sauces and
seasonings, today announced the opening of its 800th restaurant
nationwide. The Company quickly raced past this milestone today
thanks to openings in Florida, Tennessee, Washington and
California, marking a four-way tie for the 800th location. The four
new locations include the following:
- West Melbourne: 4325 Norfolk Parkway,
West Melbourne, FL
- Cleveland: 625 Paul Huff Parkway,
Cleveland, TN

“Today’s four-way tie for our 800th restaurant opening is a
significant accomplishment for Buffalo Wild Wings and demonstrates
the ongoing growth and demand for this brand,” commented Sally
Smith, President and Chief Executive Officer of Buffalo Wild Wings.
“We still have plenty of room to grow in the U.S. and have just
started capitalizing on the opportunity to expand internationally.
I’d like to extend a heartfelt thank you to our guests who support
our growth, and to our team members, franchisees and partners who
work hard every day to ensure each new opening is a success.“
To celebrate the 800th milestone and introduce new fans to the
Buffalo Wild Wings experience, the West Melbourne, Cleveland and
Tacoma locations will award the first 100 guests through the door
with “Free Wings for a Year.” Additionally all four restaurants
will award “Free Wings for a Year” to eight guests on each of the
following eight days at 8pm. The “Free Wings for a Year” promotion
provides guests with a coupon book that includes vouchers for an
order of six free wings for each of the next 52 weeks.
Buffalo Wild Wings first opened its doors in 1982 in Columbus,
Ohio near The Ohio State University campus. When friends Scott
Lowery and Jim Disbrow couldn’t find the Buffalo, NY-style chicken
wings they were craving in Ohio they began making their own – and a
national restaurant chain took flight. It currently operates more
than 800 Buffalo Wild Wings locations across 45 states in the
United States as well as in Canada, with plans for continued
international expansion.
