November 16, 2011

Buffalo Wild Wings Inc. has announced its intent to acquire 15 franchised units located in Ohio and South Carolina from a franchisee group.

The company expects the acquisition, if completed, to close before the end of this year. The restaurants are currently operated by franchisees David Fisher, Eric Lundgren, John Slaughenhaupt and Brad Haber. Buffalo Wild Wings Inc. anticipates funding the purchase price with available cash.

"David, Eric, John, and Brad have done a wonderful job growing the Buffalo Wild Wings brand in the Dayton area, as well as introducing Buffalo Wild Wings in Columbia, South Carolina," said Sally Smith, president and CEO. "The strong performance of this group of restaurants presented a very attractive acquisition opportunity for us and we look forward to welcoming them into our company-owned operations.”
