Buffalo Wild Wings Grill & Bar Nasdaq: BWLD, formerly called Buffalo Wild Wings & Weck or BW3 (also commonly referred to as """B-Dub's), is a sports bar and restaurant franchise in the United States that is best-known for its buffalo wings.
Buffalo Wild Wings got its start in 1981 after Jim Disbrow and Scott Lowery moved from Buffalo, New York, to Kent, Ohio. Unable to find authentic Buffalo-style chicken wings in their new town, they decided to open up their own restaurant. Originally called Buffalo Wild Wings & Weck (see Kummelweck) from which the abbreviation BW3 was created, the restaurant became a franchise with over 350 locations across most states of the U.S. The company later changed its name to Buffalo Wild Wings and no longer uses the short name BW3, though many of its patrons still refer to it as such.
The restaurant's theme is a sports bar / restaurant, and each location features multiple large screen televisions that are viewable from all seats. All locations also have game consoles devoted to NTN Trivia.
Buffalo Wild Wings is best-known for its buffalo wings with 14 signature sauces. In late February 2006 they eliminated two sauces, Smokey Southwestern and Thai, and added Honey BBQ, Italian Parmasean, Asian Zing, and Mango Habanero, increasing the number of sauces from 12 to 14. They also have a full menu featuring salads, appetizers, burgers, and specialty items.
The company, Buffalo Wild Wings, Inc., is now headquaratered in Minneapolis, Minnesota. Its current president and CEO is Sally Smith. The company's stock is exchanged on NASDAQ.
