PROFILE |
 |
Fans of spicy food are the wind beneath Buffalo Wild Wings. The company's more than 100 franchised or company-owned restaurants specialize in serving Buffalo-style chicken wings prepared with a choice of 12 signature sauces (teriyaki, curry, spicy garlic). Its menu also features appetizers, burgers, salads and sandwiches. Alcoholic beverages make up some 30% of sales. Launched by Jim Disbrow and Scott Lowery on the Ohio State University campus in 1982, the company was near bankruptcy five years ago until CEO Sally Smith turned it into a profit-making enterprise. The company now has plans to expand by 30 more restaurants in 2000.
