Buffalo Wild Wings is preparing to open a new full-service sports bar in Hazlet, New Jersey, on August 3, further expanding the brand's presence across the Northeast. Located along Route 35 near Keyport and Union Beach, the restaurant will serve as a new gathering place for sports fans while creating nearly 100 jobs in the local community. The opening will begin with a ribbon-cutting ceremony attended by local officials, followed by promotional offers celebrating the restaurant's arrival.
The new location features the familiar Buffalo Wild Wings experience, offering bone-in and boneless wings, burgers, sandwiches, wraps, and a wide selection of signature sauces and dry rubs. Guests will also find 30 beers on tap, including regional selections, alongside wall-to-wall televisions designed to create an immersive viewing experience for major sporting events. Extended operating hours will accommodate late-night games throughout the week.
The restaurant is operated by Munson Restaurant Group, whose portfolio now includes 17 Buffalo Wild Wings locations across New Jersey, New York, and Connecticut. The continued expansion reflects the franchise group's confidence in the region's long-term growth potential. According to Marketing Manager Joe Tripodi, the goal is to create an environment where fans can enjoy great food while sharing the excitement of watching their favorite teams compete together.
As franchise organizations continue opening new locations, keeping local communities informed becomes an important part of sustaining momentum beyond launch day. News, Articles and Blog Posts available within Gorilla Dash provide franchise teams with a centralized way to publish grand opening announcements, local promotions, and community updates, helping maintain consistent communication while strengthening customer engagement across multiple markets.
For Buffalo Wild Wings, the Hazlet opening represents more than another restaurant on the map. It reinforces the brand's strategy of partnering with experienced multi-unit franchise operators while investing in communities through employment opportunities and neighborhood gathering spaces. As Munson Restaurant Group continues expanding throughout the Northeast, each new location strengthens both the regional franchise network and the brand's connection with local guests.
