## Story

Hazlet, N.J. — Game day in Hazlet is getting a serious upgrade. Buffalo Wild Wings will officially open its newest full-service sports bar on Monday, Aug. 3, just off Route 35 and minutes from Keyport and Union Beach.

Doors will open with a celebration befitting the occasion – a 9 a.m. ceremonial ribbon-cutting and cake, joined by Hazlet Mayor Michael Sachs’ office, as the local community marks the milestone together. Guests can also enjoy value perks on grand opening day, including wing-and-fries bundles and the Pick 6 Meal for Two, starting at $19.99, with customizable entrées and side options as well as the ability to upgrade. The Pick 6 Meal for Two allows the choice of two entrées, two sides and two fountain drinks — perfect for sharing without sacrificing customization.

Built for the full game-day experience, the sports bar will serve up bone-in and boneless wings tossed in an array of signature sauces and dry rubs, along with burgers, chicken sandwiches, wraps, shareable appetizers, salads and family-friendly options. Guests can also choose from 30 beers on tap, including a lineup of local brands, while catching every matchup on wall-to-wall televisions.

The restaurant is operated by Munson Restaurant Group, whose portfolio now includes 17 Buffalo Wild Wings locations across New Jersey, Connecticut and New York, as the brand continues to expand its footprint throughout the Northeast.

"There's nothing quite like watching your team pull off a win surrounded by people who care just as much as you do, and that's the energy we're building in Hazlet," said Joe Tripodi, marketing manager for Munson Restaurant Group. "From the food to the TVs to the beer list, every detail is designed to give guests a reason to make this their spot for every game and celebration."

The opening also brings nearly 100 new jobs to the community, with positions filled across front- and back-of-house roles ahead of the Aug. 3 debut.

The Hazlet restaurant will operate Sunday through Wednesday from 10:30 a.m. to midnight and Thursday through Saturday from 10:30 a.m. to 1:30 a.m.
