# The Bismarck Tribune: Buffalo Wings & Rings Franchisee Al Hauck breaks ground on new Location

**TL;DR:** Construction has started on a new Buffalo Wings & Rings location in north Bismarck, North Dakota, with an expected opening date in late 2017. The 6,400-square-foot restaurant will serve and seat about 250 people.

## Story

Owner Al Hauck said rain has caused some delays, which could push the restaurant’s opening date into 2017.

“We’re hoping for November, December, but it might be after the first of the year,” he said.

The 6,400-square-foot restaurant will serve and seat about 250 people. There also will be a meeting banquet room for 40 people to host events.

Hauck opened the Minot Buffalo Wings & Rings in 2009. He said the layout of the Bismarck store will be different, with more booths and seating for big groups.
