Buffalo Wings & Rings Salutes Vets with Franchising Deal
Military veterans will get 50 percent off franchising fees from now until January.
When it comes to franchise models, Buffalo Wings & Rings is one of the strongest in the herd. Known for serving fresh, high-quality food in a family-friendly sports environment, the brand prides itself on reputation.
However, the backbone of the brand has always been its outstanding franchisees. And now, Buffalo Wings & Rings is looking to add more military veterans into the fold.
From now until early 2016, the brand is offering 50 percent off the franchise fee for all former military personnel. Philip Schram, chief development officer at Buffalo Wings & Rings, said he recognizes that potential military veterans could elevate the brand and become successful as franchisees because they are used to following a structured system.
Schram knows firsthand what it takes to transition from military service to the service industry. When he was 23 years old, he served in the French equivalent of the U.S. Marine Corp.
“I can certainly relate to veterans looking to get into franchising because we share a similar background,” he said. “I understand the culture and life, and I know what adjustments need to be made to run a business. Veterans can be very successful with the brand.”
Buffalo Wings & Rings offers a great opportunity to military veterans, one that Schram said may be ideal for former service men and women because of the brand’s strong franchise model and corporate support.
“We are trying to do our part to provide them opportunities outside of the service. We’ve done a similar promotion for veterans in the past, and we decided it was worth exploring again,” he said.
Veterans who worked in military positions like hospitality already have a good background and a solid understanding of what it takes to own a restaurant franchise.
Traditionally, ex-military tend to provide a great deal of leadership to Buffalo Wings & Ring, and while that is a great quality for any franchisee to possess, it’s important to have a soft side to best relate to employees and consumers alike.
“It’s important that franchisees are not too stringent—they can’t be too ridged,” Schram said.
With several veterans already in the system, the family-friendly sports restaurant is eager to add more. Schram said the most important thing the brand can do is bring the right franchisees into the system.
“It’s not about the money,” he said. “For us, it’s about getting the very best franchisees we can. We want them to be happy and successful, but we need them to also be passionate about their business. Military veterans make ideal franchisees because of their sense of dedication and discipline. There is a great opportunity to thrive with Buffalo Wings & Rings.”
As the alternative to traditional sports bars roams its way across America, there’s no better time to get a foot in the door with Buffalo Wings & Rings. And with a financial leg-up, former servicemen and women can stake their claim to one of the fastest-growing brands in the country.

BuffaloWings &Rings
FollowAt BW&R, we love everything about wings. In fact, we made a promise way back in '84 (the year we served our very first wing), that we would give our customers the absolute finest wings in America, along with more combinations of sauces and heat levels than they've ever seen before. In fact, we still blend our signature sauces from our original recipes and make our homemade bleu cheese dressing each morning.
