A Buffalo Wild Wings GO is planned for Lehigh Town Center in Lehigh Acres, bringing a pickup-and-delivery version of the wing chain to the 25 Homestead Road North shopping center. The location, listed as Unit 45, is expected to open in approximately six months, according to a location representative.
According to WhatNow, the planned restaurant will focus on pickup and delivery rather than full-service dining. The address traces to Florida Department of Business and Professional Regulation records cited in that report, placing the project at 25 Homestead Rd N, Lehigh Acres, FL 33936.
The GO format strips the format down from the traditional Buffalo Wild Wings sports-bar experience, letting customers order through the brand's website or app for collection or delivery. Menus at existing BWW GO locations include bone-in wings, boneless wings, chicken sandwiches, burgers, and sides, with wings available in the chain's lineup of sauces and dry rubs.
A Format Built for Speed, Not Seating
A Format Built for Speed, Not Seating Buffalo Wild Wings introduced the GO format in Atlanta in 2020, and the concept has since expanded well beyond its original takeout-window roots. The first BWW GO store was an 1,800-square-foot unit that opened near Inspire Brands' Atlanta headquarters in May 2020, according to Franchise Times. While some GO locations have since added dine-in seating, the format's core appeal remains fast turnaround on wings, chicken sandwiches, burgers, and the brand's over 26 sauces and rubs, per a report from qsrmagazine.com.
The GO concept has become one of the fastest-growing pieces of the Buffalo Wild Wings business. The chain's report notes that BWW GO grew by 79 restaurants in 2025 alone, pushing its total to 219 locations, with 194 of those franchised by year's end. Franchise growth is projected to continue into 2026, with 75 new franchised openings expected and no additional company-owned stores planned, the same report states.
BWW GO's 2024 Growth Depends on How It's Counted
qsrmagazine.com reported that the openings figure climbed from 27 to 60 to 106 over a three-year stretch, implying 60 new locations in 2024. The brand recorded a net increase of 61 BWW GO units that year. The figures reflect different measures, but both point to continued growth.
Florida has already seen one notable twist on the format this year. Restaurant Dive reported that a franchisee was scheduled to open the first co-branded Buffalo Wild Wings GO and Jimmy John's restaurant in Palmetto, Florida, on August 18, 2026, according to Restaurant Dive. That Palmetto location offers BWW GO's carryout- and delivery-focused menu of bone-in and boneless wings alongside Jimmy John's sandwiches under one roof, the outlet reported. The Palmetto project was handled by Quality Foods Restaurant Group, which operates three Buffalo Wild Wings locations in Florida.
There's no indication the Lehigh Acres location will follow that co-branded model; the WhatNow report describes it strictly as a standalone BWW GO. Buffalo Wild Wings is part of Inspire Brands, the parent company that also operates Arby's, Baskin-Robbins, Dunkin', Jimmy John's, and Sonic, and counts more than 33,400 restaurants worldwide across its portfolio.
No opening date beyond the roughly six-month estimate has been confirmed, and details on the Lehigh Acres location's final hours or dine-in availability have not been established. For now, Lehigh Acres residents will have to wait for wings to land in their corner of Lehigh Town Center.
