About Buffalo Wild Wings

Premier Casual Dining & Sports Bar Anchor Opportunity Buffalo Wild Wings (BWW), a subsidiary of Inspire Brands, is the largest sports bar brand in the United States, operating over 1,200 locations globally. Known for its high-energy environment, extensive wing menu, and immersive sports viewing experience, BWW serves as a powerful Anchor Tenant that drives consistent evening and weekend traffic to Power Centers and Lifestyle Centers. The brand is actively executing a National Expansion strategy, leveraging two distinct prototypes: the traditional full-service "Sports Bar" format (requiring ~6,000 SF) and the rapidly growing "BWW GO" concept (1,200–1,800 SF) designed for off-premise efficiency. Ideal for developers seeking a credit-worthy tenant with strong community engagement, Buffalo Wild Wings aggressively pursues End-cap and Freestanding opportunities with high visibility and Drive-thru or pickup window capabilities for its GO format.
