## Story

Michigan-based Diversified Restaurant Holdings, Inc. now operates 65 Buffalo Wild Wings locations across five states. Its newest location opened June 12 in Tampa, Florida. The company now operates 18 locations in the Sunshine State.

The new 5,000-square-foot space features the STADIA format, an open-space, stadium-like design for easier game viewing and socializing, and seating for more than 200 inside and out.

"This design goes beyond meeting the needs of our guests, who like to socialize, gather with friends and watch sporting events. It offers a very high-energy stadium experience," said David G. Burke, CEO of Diversified Restaurant Holdings, Inc. "The South Tampa location is dynamic, and we expect our new restaurant to quickly become the place for lunch, after-work drinks with friends, and also a gathering spot on the weekends to catch the big game."

Diversified Restaurant Holdings operates 65 Buffalo Wild Wings restaurants in key markets throughout Florida, Illinois, Indiana, Michigan, and Missouri.
