Wing chain permanently closes all locations in Ontario

American sports bar franchise,Buffalo Wild Wings, has officially shuttered all of its remaining locations in Ontario, effectively signalling the end of its run in the Canadian market.

Founded in Columbus, Ohio in 1982, the chain is known for offering Buffalo-style chicken wings in a variety of sauces like Parmesan Garlic, Honey BBQ, Nashville Hot, and Mango Habanero.

The franchise currently operates over 1,200 locations across the U.S., and previously boasted multiple locations in Ontario and Calgary.

Throughout April and May, the Atlanta-basedchicken wing chain quietly shut down its locations在奥克维尔、伦敦、Hamilton-Stoney溪,Ajaxnd Vaughan with little to no notice.

Now, the last three Buffalo Wild Wings restaurants in Ontario have been marked as "permanently closed," meaning fans of the franchise will have to cross the border to indulge in its chicken wings from now on.
