Brand built on wings, beer and sports continues
international expansion
Today, Buffalo Wild Wings®, Inc. (NASDAQ: BWLD) announced that
it will now reach even more sports hungry fans across the world
with the opening of its first restaurant in the Philippines on Jan.
29. The new restaurant at Capitol Commons in Pasig City will be one
of several locations to open in the Philippines, joining more than
1,070 Buffalo Wild Wings restaurants in North America.
Aside from delivering on its mantra of “Wings. Beer. Sports.,”
Buffalo Wild Wings locations will feature the company’s new
restaurant design, which provides the ultimate sports viewing
experience while bringing the look and feel of the stadium
experience into the restaurant.
As one of the fastest-growing restaurant companies in the U.S,
the company has grown quickly in Mexico over the last year, and
believes the concept will be popular in the Philippines as
well.
“What we’ve found through our international expansion is that
true passion for sports and the camaraderie that comes with
watching a big game with family and friends is a universal
phenomenon,” said Sally Smith, CEO and president of Buffalo Wild
Wings. “Between our fresh, diverse menu and sports centric dining
experience, we are confident that Filipinos will enjoy this new
option for watching their favorite sporting events.”
Buffalo Wild Wings is known for the highest-quality Buffalo, New
York-style chicken wings, available in 21 signature sauces and
seasonings, ranging from Sweet BBQTM to Blazin’®. Guests also enjoy
a full menu of burgers, appetizers and thin-crust flatbreads, all
designed to easily share with friends, along with a wide selection
of beers.
Each restaurant has an extensive multi-media system that
features large wall-to-wall high-definition televisions for
excellent sports viewing.
The Pasig City restaurant is operated by The Bistro Group, which
currently owns and operates 10 restaurant concepts, a culinary
center (The Bistro Academy) comprised of international franchises,
as well as homegrown brands. The franchise group expects to open
multiple Buffalo Wild Wings restaurants in the Philippines over the
coming years.
Buffalo Wild Wings’ international push began in 2011 with
restaurants in Canada, which have grown to include 14 locations,
and continued with the opening of five restaurants in Mexico. As
part of its continued international growth, Buffalo Wild Wings
announced further expansion into Dubai and Saudi Arabia, and
anticipates opening restaurants there in 2015. The company
continues to seek opportunities in markets around the world.
“As we explore new markets, we take the time to learn about the
countries, cultures and potential partners,” said Smith. “We’re
pleased to be working with a franchise partner in the Philippines
who understands the needs and interests of this dynamic, evolving
market, as well as our target Guest, and shares our philosophy of
bringing people together through great food and sports.”
