One of America’s most popular sports bars is coming to Williston. Buffalo Wild Wings Grill and Bar (BWW) will hold an official ground breaking ceremony on Tuesday, September 4, at 2:30 p.m., at 417 Reiger Drive. The site is located just south of the Herman Oil Convenience Store.
Wings of Minot, LLC is bringing the restaurant to Williston. The company is owned by Minot restaurateur Ken Herslip, his wife Janelle and his daughters Sam Herslip and Dani Reichenberger. The family operation also owns BWW in Minot. They earned the Buffalo Wild Wings Single Unit Franchisee of the year award in 2011.
Reichenberger, who is director of operations for Wings of Minot, says they are anxious to open the Williston store. “We are just really happy and excited to be in Williston. We’ll have great staff and we are looking forward to providing the community with a great place to eat,” she says.
Basin Brokers helped Wings of Minot bring BWW to Williston. Tate Cymbaluk, part-owner of Basin Brokers, says he believes the sports bar will be well received. “Buffalo Wild Wings will provide a great benefit to the community. It will give people living in and around the area another option for dining out,” he says.
Buffalo Wild Wings was founded in 1982. It is headquartered in Minneapolis, Minnesota. The restaurant specializes in its namesake, Buffalo, New York-style chicken wings and eighteen signature sauces.
The restaurant has received hundreds of “Best Wings” and “Best Sports Bar” awards from across the country. There are more than 800 BWW restaurants in Canada and the U.S.
If everything goes as planned the Williston BWW will open sometime around February 1, 2013. Reichenberger says the facility will look a lot like the one in Minot. “It will be a similar setup. It will accommodate approximately 270 people inside and another 40-50 on the patio,” she says.
Wings of Minot has promoted its Minot general manager, Tory Crowe, to regional manager. They are currently hiring six managers who will train at the Minot BWW. They will begin hiring hourly workers later this year. To apply for a position e-mail [email protected] call Dani at 701-340-9616 or Tory at 701-509-2514.
