Buffalo Wild Wings Franchise Model Overview
Buffalo Wild Wings Sports Bars are sports entertainment-oriented casual restaurants built around chicken wings, sandwiches and a full bar, franchised by an Atlanta-based subsidiary of the parent that developed the concept. Units typically run 4,000 to 10,000 square feet with wall-to-wall audio-visual equipment, and a new freestanding build is a seven-figure project once construction, A/V, kitchen equipment and a liquor license are counted; conversions of existing buildings come in somewhat lower. The system is unusual in that company-owned stores outnumber franchised ones by roughly 630 to 550, and the company-owned count has been shrinking while the franchised base grows modestly. Owners or a designated Control Person must personally participate full time, and each Sports Bar needs a trained Unit General Manager on premises plus at least two assistant managers; a fourth unit triggers a required Multi-Unit Operations Manager. Transfers require franchisor consent and a transfer fee. Item 19 reports 2025 annual unit volumes for franchised Sports Bars.
