BUFFALO WILD WINGS GO
Buffalo Wild Wings GO franchises operate restaurants featuring chicken wings, chicken tenders, and other food and beverage products primarily for off-premises consumption, such as takeout and delivery, using proprietary recipes, standards, and the Buffalo Wild Wings GO trademark. The business model involves granting franchises for single units, area developments, non-traditional locations, and multi-brand sites with partners like Arby's or Dunkin'. It targets the general public seeking convenient casual dining options in a competitive market of quick-service chicken wing providers.
