Build-Your-Own Pizza Concept in Hopkins Set to
Open on May 14
Buffalo Wild Wings, Inc. (NASDAQ: BWLD), known for its
restaurants focused on wings, beer and sports, is heating up the
PizzaRev-olution with the grand opening today of its first PizzaRev
franchise in Hopkins, Minn., in suburban Minneapolis. The new
restaurant is the first outside of California for the
build-your-own artisanal pizza concept, and the first of several
PizzaRev locations that Buffalo Wild Wings plans to open throughout
the Minneapolis/St. Paul market.
Following a ribbon cutting with Buffalo Wild Wings CEO and
President Sally Smith and PizzaRev Founder Irv Zuckerman and Chief
Operating Officer Nicholas Eckerman, Smith will help create the
first official pizza and serve it to the first guest.
Hopkins guests will “craft their own” 11" artisanal-quality
pizzas loaded with 30+ fresh, premium ingredients of their
choosing, and served piping hot from a custom-built, 9,600 pound,
open-flame, stone-bed oven in less than three minutes. Conveniently
located at Knollwood Crossing Center, 525 N. Blake Rd., the
restaurant will be open every day of the week from 11 a.m. – 10
p.m.
“Buffalo Wild Wings is all about bringing guests a unique
experience at a good value, and we love how PizzaRev brings a fresh
approach to the pizza industry – offering guests a truly
interactive dining experience and premium offerings using only the
highest quality ingredients,” said Kathy Benning, executive vice
president and chief strategy officer and business development of
Buffalo Wild Wings. “We’re excited to open our first PizzaRev
location right here in our hometown, and we’re confident that their
unique take on pizza will thrive in Minnesota and across the
country.”
