    Buffalo Wild Wings opens 600th store in march to 1,000

    By Dan Haugen | Published Mon, Jul 20 2009 10:38 am

    Buffalo Wild Wings apparently won't be stopped, not even by a recession, in its march to open 1,000 restaurants nationwide.

    While other restaurant chains have closed locations and cut prices to near break-even levels on some items, it continues to grow its flock of sports-friendly, big-screen-dominated bar and grills.

    The Minneapolis company announced the opening of its 600th restaurant today. The company-owned location in Wilson, North Carolina is the 14th in that state.

    "Our dedicated team members in the field and at our home office enable us to continue moving forward with our growth plan despite a tough economic environment," CEO Sally Smith said in a statement.

    Meanwhile, an update to another restaurant story we reported here last month: D'Amico, which "proactively" closed its downtown Minneapolis, flagship restaurant a few weeks back, announced that it will take over the space recently abandoned by Chambers Kitchen. The new D'Amico Kitchen will open in late August, according to a press release from the restaurant company.
