BW3 and Company

Originally named Buffalo Wild Wings & Weck (hence the abbreviation BW3), the company is now widely known as Buffalo Wild Wings (or "B-Dubs"). Founded in 1982 in Columbus, Ohio, the company has grown into a major international franchise. Its business model is centered on providing a lively, sports-centric atmosphere where patrons can enjoy wings, beer, and watch live sporting events. After being a publicly traded company for many years, it was acquired in February 2018 by Arby's Restaurant Group, which was subsequently renamed Inspire Brands, making it part of one of the largest restaurant conglomerates in the world.
