Buffalo Wild Wings is known for its exciting sports atmosphere, award-winning Buffalo, NY-style chicken wings spun in one of 20 mouth-watering signature sauces and seasonings, as well as its wide selection of premium and domestic beers.


“Opening our 900th store is an extraordinary accomplishment for this company”


“Opening our 900th store is an extraordinary accomplishment for this company,” said Sally Smith, president and CEO of Buffalo Wild Wings. “We’ve come a long way from a small but well-loved wing joint in Ohio, to a destination for sports fans nationwide, but we’ve stayed true to the core elements that have built Buffalo Wild Wings: wings, beer and sports. We are thrilled to be able to celebrate the 900th milestone with our passionate fans in San Jose.”

The restaurant will award the first 100 guests through the door with “Free Wings for a Year.” The promotion provides guests with a coupon book that includes vouchers for an order of six free wings for each of the next 52 weeks. In addition, starting on Feb. 18, the restaurant will raffle off nine “Free Wings for a Year” coupon books at 9 p.m. for nine days following the opening.

Buffalo Wild Wings expects to open about 100 new locations in 2013, approaching the milestone of 1,000 restaurants. This will include openings with the updated restaurant design, which premiered in Cincinnati, Ohio, with a second opening in San Diego, California next month.
