American sports bar franchise,
Buffalo Wild Wings, recently shuttered several of its locations in Ontario to the surprise of avid
chicken wing connoisseurs who only discovered the closures after attempting to dine in at the restaurants.
The franchise is well-known for offering Buffalo-style chicken wings that come with a variety of sauces, and an extensive menu that also features bar-style appetizers, burgers, and desserts.
The Atlanta-headquartered chicken wing chain operates over 1,200 locations in the U.S. and previously boasted several locations in Calgary and Ontario.
However, Buffalo Wild Wings restaurants in Oakville, London, Hamilton - Stoney Creek, Ajax, and Vaughan have all been marked as "permanently closed" on Google.
According to customers who left reviews under the chain's Oakville location, the bar's front door is padlocked, and the chain's signature logo has been removed from the exterior.
