Orlando, FL — Buffalo Wings & Rings, the nation’s fastest-growing privately held franchise offering the best Buffalo-style chicken wings, will unveil its 40th U.S. location in Orlando, FL, next week. The new Buffalo Wings & Rings is located at 2079 Town Center Boulevard (in the Super Target Shopping Plaza at the intersection of Orange Blossom Trail and Town Center Boulevard). To mark the restaurant’s grand opening, co-owners Manuel Centeno and Israel Pagan, and general manager Romy Pagan will host a private VIP event on Monday, September 8, 2008 followed by the eatery’s official grand opening on Wednesday, September 10, 2008.

"Israel is a retired New York City police detective, and Romy and I were new home builders, but all three of us have always wanted to own our own business," Centeno said. "When the housing market changed, we decided to follow our dream. Buffalo Wings & Rings serves great food at reasonable prices in a fun atmosphere that’s perfect for families and sports fans alike. There’s nothing else in the community like it, and we’re excited to be able to bring it to Orlando."

In July 2008, Buffalo Wings & Rings achieved the top spot on Restaurant Business magazine’s annual "The Future 50" list, a ranking of the top 50 fastest-growing restaurant chains in the country.

The Buffalo Wings & Rings menu boasts a wide array of fare suited to please everyone – from Buffalo-style wings soaked in savory sauces, juicy new Boneless Wings, Hot Garlic Sloppy Fries, Saratoga Chips and Curly-Q French Fries to award-winning hamburgers, moist chicken sandwiches, tasty pulled pork sandwiches and an assortment of refreshing salads. Guests are encouraged to dunk their favorite wings in the Buffalo Wings & Rings homemade bleu cheese dressing, which is destined to become a local favorite.

The Buffalo Wings & Rings Orlando restaurant will employ 60 people and has seating capacity for more than 220 guests, who can choose to dine in the dining room, the sports bar café or the outdoor patio.

Guests can play video games and Buzztime trivia, and watch the latest news and sports channels – including NFL Ticket – on any of the 30 televisions strategically placed throughout the restaurant, including 29 flat-screens and one huge projection screen.
