Buffalo Wild Wings coming to U.S. 41-North location
Buffalo Wild Wings—commonly called BW3’s—is coming to Henderson. But don’t expect to sit and watch ballgames while swilling beer at the U.S. 41-North location.
The planned eatery will be a walk-in and pick-up to go location, Daniel Pund, a representative of the company, said at Tuesday evening’s Henderson-Henderson County Joint Planning Commission meeting.
The planning commission unanimously approved the site plan.
The restaurant will take up a space of the current building where Dunkin’ Donuts is located, said Jennifer Marks, the assistant director of the planning commission. There’s still a third space available within the building, and Marks said that may be occupied in the future.
Pund said the BW3 space will have a couple tables and some chairs but the design of it will be a grab and go operation. There’s also won’t be a drive-through window.

The official launch of the whiskey will be 3:30 p.m. Monday at the Beverage Barn at 510 Barret Blvd.
