MERRIONETTE PARK, IL – Buffalo Wild Wings fans can get their wings on the GO when a new concept restaurant opens Friday, Nov. 17, in Merrionette Park.

GO is a new takeout and delivery-focused model for Buffalo Wild Wings designed to offer the brand’s award-winning chicken wings and 26 signature sauces and seasoning options, plus a few other fan favorites. The new location will also bring 30-50 full-time and part-time jobs to the community.

“I am thrilled to introduce the new Buffalo Wild Wings GO model in Merrionette Park,” said John Bowie, President, Buffalo Wild Wings in a news release. “Our takeout and delivery business grew significantly over the past two years as guests across America enjoyed our award-winning wings, sauces, and other menu items at home.

Merrionette Park GO will feature a walk-up counter, digital menu boards, and limited seating.
