Cincinnati Business Courier: Buffalo Wings & Rings opening two new locations

Sports restaurant franchise Buffalo Wings & Rings is kicking off prime pro sports season with two new locations in Greater Cincinatti, including a corner kiosk in Paul Brown Stadium.

"(Concession-provider Aramark) wanted Cincinnati-based companies to be part of their food offerings, and we’ve had a great partner with the Bengals to have our food served in the stadium," Buffalo Wings & Rings CEO Nader Masadeh told Cincinnati Business Courier.

Along with the window at the Cincinnati Bengals’ home turf, the chain is also opening a freestanding location in a former Smokey Bones location in Anderson Township. This expansion is in conjunction with the brand’s mission to plant stronger roots in its base city of Cincinnati.

"The company started in Cincinnati with its first location on Beechmont Avenue, so we feel that’s the home of the Buffalo Wings & Rings," Masadeh said. "The franchisee is closing that location and converting to a different concept. But that’s why we chose Anderson, we wanted to keep with our roots."
