On Tuesday, March 4, Buffalo Wild Wings on Boardwalk (formerly Damon’s Grill) had only been open four days, but at lunchtime it was packed. Where did all these people come from? “People who work around here. I think it’s been on everyone’s short-term to-do list to get over here,” offers Ben Storey, from the Shelby Township home office of JK&T Wings, which owns this and the other thirty-some BWW franchises in Michigan. Manager Jason Garrity had another idea: “They seem young. I think it’s senior skip day. Don’t tell the truancy officer.”

This is the second BWW in Ann Arbor–the other is on State Street near campus. Storey says JK&T Wings also owns several Smashburger franchises in Michigan. Haven’t heard of Smashburger? “I wish they’d get one around here. They’re like Five Guys but way fresher.”
