Buffalo Wild Wings Opens 'Go' Concept In Aurora

AURORA, IL — Buffalo Wild Wings is unveiling its latest "Go" location Friday in Aurora.

The new 1,600-square-foot restaurant is moving into 1535 Butterfield Road, neighboring Ruby's Liquor, Swan Spa and Relax, and Black Pepper Lounge. The Aurora store — the only Buffalo Wild Wings within city limits — accommodates pickup and takeout only.

Buffalo Wild Wings Go is celebrating its grand opening with a ribbon-cutting ceremony at 10 a.m. Friday, followed by a giveaway that will reward the first 100 people in line with free wings for a year.

"Our new restaurant is designed for convenience without compromising on quality — perfect for busy families, lunch breaks, and wing lovers on the go," Nilesh Patel, the Aurora Buffalo Wild Wings Go franchisee, said in a statement.

The Go concept, launched in 2020, emphasizes convenience and speed while serving guests traditional and boneless wings, all 26 Buffalo Wild Wings signature sauces and dry rubs, burgers, chicken dippers and other items.

"As a long-time fan of Buffalo Wild Wings, the introduction of the GO model by Inspire Brands was an easy decision for me," Patel said. "For years, I've enjoyed visiting Buffalo Wild Wings with friends, and I'm excited to bring that same sense of community to the Aurora area."

The new restaurant will employ about 20 employees. It'll be open daily from 10:30 a.m. to midnight.

The nearest full-service Buffalo Wild Wings is on Douglas Road in Oswego.
