History Buffalo Wild Wings was founded in 1982 at a location near The Ohio State University Campus by Jim Disbrow and Scott Lowery. The pair were from Buffalo, NY and missed eating the style of wings there. The restaurant's original name was Buffalo Wild Wings & Weck , or BW-3. A Weck is short for kimmelweck, a Kaiser roll seasoned with special toppings. These tasty rolls were popular on the East Coast and were served at the restaurants when it was first opened. In 1998, the company officially changed its name to Buffalo Wild Wings Grill & Bar to better describe the restaurants. The company went public on November 20th, 2003.
