Education & Training
Our education and training vision is to enrich the professional development of our franchisees and equip them and their employees in such a way that it advances the growth of the brand. This is done through online learning opportunities and providing useful tools and resources to help our members further build their businesses.
Our largest and perhaps most beneficial educational offering is the annual Summit—an exclusive chance to network with fellow franchisees, focus on franchisee-specific issues, and celebrate the Buffalo Wild Wings® brand! Each year at the Summit, attendees learn information from subject matter experts on a variety of topics to remain successful in business, from the inner workings of the government to management and profitability techniques.
