How Buffalo Wings & Rings Plans to Increase its Florida Footprint

The Sunshine State is already home to four thriving Buffalo Wings & Rings locations, and the winning wing franchise which offers an alternative to the traditional sports bar is excited to introduce its always-delicious, chef-inspired menu to a new community of fans.

“The growth potential in Florida is vast,” Flaherty said. “We already have existing and thriving locations there, and these markets share similarities in what we are looking for in terms of lifestyle, demographics and site criteria.”

Since its inception in 1984, Buffalo Wings & Rings has grown to more than 80 locations globally. And with strong franchise support, low-financing interest rates and a growing network of passionate and dedicated franchisees, the brand is positioned to keep that growth momentum steady.

But it’s more than just a willingness to grow — it’s a commitment to it. Buffalo Wings & Rings’ growth strategy is loaded with incentives available to prospective and existing franchisees, including an entirely revamped restaurant design with an updated logo, a development incentive program that waives the initial $40,000 franchise fee and royalty fees for six months, and a new POS system with cutting-edge technological improvements. 

The wing franchise plans to extend its reach all across the state, including multiple territories in top markets like Orlando, Tampa, Sarasota, Destin and Panama City.

“Florida is also another highly sports-oriented state, which bodes well for the Buffalo Wings & Rings opportunities, as guests can enjoy the game with their friends or families. I see a lot of future growth in Florida, with both existing and prospective franchisees,” Flaherty said.

Amid a challenging year, Flaherty said Buffalo Wings & Rings remained devoted to improving its already outstanding offerings, which include great food at the customer’s convenience. It’s that promise and passion driving the brand that have made franchisees feel so supported and kept customers happy.

“We will continue to focus on convenience and opportunities to enjoy our great food via valet pickup or delivery,” said Flaherty. “For our franchisees, it’s the opportunity to be in business for yourself, but not by yourself, with a franchisor who is deeply committed to pursuing success together, as a member of our franchise family, and with the opportunity to have some fun together.”

The start of a new year is an exciting time for any brand, and that’s no different for Buffalo Wings & Rings. The brand is prepared to deliver great food to the fans who love it most.

“For our guests, it’s the opportunity to enjoy great food in a fun environment with friendly customer service, every time,” Flaherty said.
