Ground was broken Thursday morning on the site of the new Buffalo Wild Wings on Harper in St. Clair Shores.

Earthmovers took the first scoops of dirt at the property on Harper, north of 9 Mile, for the new 6,500-square-foot restaurant.

The long-awaited sports bar, which was first announced last May, is being built on the location of the former Shorecrest Lanes and will be constructed in the traditional style of other Buffalo Wild Wings restaurants. It will also include an outdoor patio on Harper.
