Buffalo Wild Wings is a franchise operation.... and gaining that information took less than 30 seconds Matt.
Hell Matt, I was thinking of opening a business called "Matt's Porn Emporium" getting $1,000,000 in funding from the city and the franchising out the site and putting the profit in my pocket.
Even the boys @ the Vour didn't seek funding from the city....
And because Matt you lack the depth of thinking multi layered, the post was was provided to show the feeling/sentiments of others who live in the region....but you can't think on that level can you Matt.
First $10,000,000 for a plant that will never be built, and now nearly a Million Hammond residents are going to be on the hook for the privileged it is going to cost Hammond residents for a company to build on the site and pay for someone's franchise.
And Matt, you don't live in the region... do you.. Come on now move back to Hammond, Tom could use your intellectual depth. It got you thru that foreclosure didn't it?
Wasn't a new Kentucky Fried Chicken built on north Calumet Avenue and Hammond resident's didn't pay for that franchise. Why are we paying for this?

We do not guarantee leases for franchisees, nor do we negotiate your lease.
Each franchise group must have a person with multi-unit restaurant management experience with alcohol. If you do not personally have this background and experience, you will be required to have what we call an "Operating Partner." Your Operating Partner will be responsible for operations of your franchised restaurant network. It is your responsibility to secure an Operating Partner if you do not have the substantive experience required.
Each franchise restaurant location must at all times have a full-time, qualified, experienced General Manager (GM). The GM must have direct experience in unit-level management in the casual dining environment that included alcohol.
