B-Dubs a GO in Waconia as new site opens doors
Buffalo Wild Wings GO has opened a new restaurant at 144 Depot Drive in Waconia, the brand’s latest expansion in Minnesota as it pursues franchise growth across the state. Locally owned and operated by Matt Knodt and Lacey Pavek, the newest Buffalo Wild Wings GO location is the first in Waconia. BWWGO is built around takeout and delivery, so it’s a smaller version of B-Dubs serving the same wings, sauces and dry rubs Minnesotans have known from Buffalo Wild Wings for decades, say the owners. The smaller GO format allows it to reach towns like Waconia that never fit a full sports bar, company officials said. “Minnesota has been home to Buffalo Wild Wings for decades, and GO is giving us a new way to grow the brand in communities across the state,” said John Dawson, president of U.S. development at Inspire Brands. “Waconia is a great example of how well GO’s smaller format fits a growing community, and markets such as St. Paul, St. Cloud, Alexandria and Red Wing offer the same kind of opportunity. We’re excited to partner with operators who want to be part of GO’s next chapter in Minnesota.” With more than 220 standalone locations open

Police: Chaska woman charged with child endangerment after allegedly driving while high
Maria Jose Salcedo, 35, of 1 Riverbend Place #119, Chaska, has been charged with driving while intoxicated and two counts of child endangerment relating to a June 29 event near I-35 mile post 47 in Steele County. The Minnesota State Patrol alleges two separate callers reported a white Jeep heading southbound on I-35 was speeding, crossing over lane lines and almost crashing into other vehicles. Police said troopers saw the vehicle drive by with an inoperable driver’s side headlight and an active rear wiper despite it not raining. While troopers followed the Jeep, it reportedly crossed the fog line and drove on the shoulder of the interstate, and followed the vehicle in front of it “dangerously close.” Police said Salcedo jerked onto the shoulder and slammed on its breaks when the troopers initiated a traffic stop, and the driver’s side tires were reportedly still partially on the fog line. Salcedo’s children, ages 12 and 6, were in the backseat of the Jeep, police said. Asked if she had been drinking, Salcedo reportedly told officers she drank Remy Martin, an alcoholic champagne. Police said Salcedo had an open and partially consumed cannabis edible chocolate bar, a clear plastic bag with marijuana

Mound residents push back against Lynwood development pitch
A preliminary proposal to build 30 twin homes along Lynwood Boulevard drew opposition from nearby residents during the Mound City Council’s Oct. 22 meeting, with neighbors raising concerns about traffic, drainage and the development’s compatibility with the surrounding single-family neighborhood. The concept plan for 6221 Lynwood Boulevard, submitted by Jason Palmby of Magellan Land Development, would include 30 twin-home units with a cul-de-sac that leads to Lynwood Boulevard via Robin Lane. Sarah Smith, community development director, said the property is currently zoned R-1 single-family residential and would require a conditional use permit for planned unit development approval and potentially an amendment to the city’s zoning ordinance. Palmby said the development is intended to provide additional housing options in Mound, where there is limited new housing stock available. The units would be for sale and the estimated price range is $500,000 to $800,000 per unit. A homeowners association would maintain the development, including lawn care and snow removal. Palmby said a wetland review is underway, but traffic studies and soil borings have not yet been completed. The plan includes stormwater ponds to manage runoff, and the Palmby has begun discussions with the Minnehaha Creek Watershed District. During public comment, about a
