Buffalo Wild Wings Go approved for Twelve Corners Plaza
Buffalo Wild Wings is coming back to the Rochester market, but in a new format at a well-known location. The Brighton Town Planning Board unanimously approved a conditional use permit for a Buffalo Wild Wings Go at Twelve Corners Plaza during its Feb. 18 meeting. The proposed restaurant would occupy 1,550 square feet and have seating for just six people, instead relying primarily on a takeout format. It will occupy the space that previously housed Brighton Vision. The proposal will also need approval from the town board and architectural review board.
