Wings and Rings

As the brand plans for development throughout Kansas, Buffalo Wings &amp; Rings recently opened a new restaurant in Wichita, Kansas. This marks the first location for the franchise in the state. According to <a href="http://amp.kansas.com/entertainment/restaurants/dining-with-denise-neil/article215643045.html?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=buffalo-wings-rings-enters-kansas-opens-first-location-in-wichita-2707339" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">an article in The Wichita Eagle, the restaurant is already finding a fast following</a>.

Wichita locals and business partners Kevin Breshears, Zachary Blue and Zac&#39;s&nbsp;father, Randy Blue,&nbsp;are the franchisees of the Wichita Buffalo Wings &amp; Rings. Breshears first discovered the elevated sports brand while visiting its location in Omaha, NE on work travel and thought it would be a great fit for the Wichita market.

&ldquo;There are several full-service restaurants in Wichita, but the city was in need of a family-friendly joint where locals can grab great wings and food while enjoying an exciting game with the kids or friends,&rdquo; said Breshears.

Breshears then connected with Zac Blue, the two having extensive backgrounds in the restaurant industry from their previous careers, as well as Zac&#39;s father, Randy, and they began researching the Buffalo Wings &amp; Rings franchise opportunity. Believing the brand could deliver a higher level of hospitality and product to the Wichita community compared to competing establishments in the city, the two attended a Discovery Day in Cincinnati to meet the corporate team.

&ldquo;We went through the Discovery Day process in Cincinnati and toured a bunch of restaurants with the corporate team,&rdquo; said Zac Blue. &ldquo;They were vetting us as much as we were vetting them. We came back after that and thought this would be a great thing to do. The corporate team was a big part of why we chose the franchise. The franchisor provides excellent support, more than any other franchise I&rsquo;ve dealt with in the past.&rdquo;

Breshears and the Blues signed on to open their first Buffalo Wings &amp; Rings restaurant in Wichita in June 2016 and are now open for business. The entrepreneurial partners&nbsp;also plan&nbsp;to bring two additional locations to the greater Wichita market over the next few years.

The Wichita restaurant marks the franchise&rsquo;s first location in the state, prompting a desire for quick and scaled development throughout Kansas. Buffalo Wings &amp; Rings is targeting major cities in Kansas for further growth including Overland Park, Kansas City, Olathe, Topeka and Lawrence.

&ldquo;Our brand has seen great success in markets similar to those found throughout the state of Kansas. The culture and family-focused atmosphere matches that of nearby Lincoln and Omaha where we have incredible operators seeing success,&rdquo; said Buffalo Wings Chief Development Officer Philip Schram. &ldquo;We hope to have our second location in Kansas open by 2020 and are targeting the suburbs of Kansas City and the key county seats across the state with a population of 30,000 or more.&rdquo;

Alongside major cities in Kansas, Buffalo Wings &amp; Rings is also pushing for further growth in markets in its home state of Ohio, including its headquarter city, Cincinnati, and Columbus.

&ldquo;At Buffalo Wings &amp; Rings, we focus on community involvement and providing guests with an unforgettable, valuable experience - which is why we tend to see success in rural, suburban markets just outside of large cities,&rdquo; said Schram. &ldquo;Opening in Kansas is in line with our strategy to grow the &lsquo;Vertical of the Great Plains&rsquo; spanning from North Dakota to Texas.&rdquo;
