Northwest, Sodexo open first Buffalo Wild Wings Go on college campus

Northwest Missouri State University is now home to the first Buffalo Wild Wings Go on a college campus, offering the retailer’s chicken wings and other classic menu items for dine-in and takeout orders.

Buffalo Wild Wings Go opened April 29 in The Station, located adjacent to the high-rise residence halls on the west edge of the University campus, and remains open to the public year-round.

“We wanted to bring a concept that would be exciting to our students, employees and the community,” Dr. Matt Baker, Northwest’s vice president of student affairs, said. “Buffalo Wild Wings Go was presented as an option, and it seemed like a great fit. The feedback we have received so far about the quality of food and service has been outstanding.”

Its hours are 11 a.m. to 11 p.m. Monday through Thursday and Sunday and 11 a.m. to midnight Friday and Saturday.

Parking is available in designated spaces in Lot 41 on the west side of The Station and the high-rise residence halls.

In addition to its classic wings, wraps, sandwiches and sides, Buffalo Wild Wings Go serves beer in The Station’s remodeled dining space. Sauces, rubs, T-shirts and other merchandise also are available for purchase.

It is the latest dining retailer to open on the Northwest campus since the University entered into a seven-year contract last year with Sodexo Operations LLC to manage its campus dining program.

Buffalo Wild Wings Go joins dining options on the Northwest campus that include Starbucks in the B.D. Owens Library, which is open this summer from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m. Monday through Friday, except on holidays when the Northwest campus is closed. 

Although closed for the summer, the J.W. Jones Student Union offers Chick-fil-A, McAlister’s Deli and Qdoba Mexican Eats as well Bearcat Commons, which is located in the building’s lower level and offers a variety of rotating menu items in an all-you-care-to-eat food court setting.

All Northwest dining locations are open to the public during their regular hours. For more information, including menus and promotions, visit Northwest Campus Dining on Facebook at https://www.facebook.com/nwbearcatdining or at https://nwbearcatdining.sodexomyway.com/.

Northwest invites local residents to visit campus dining locations any time they are open, whether it’s to grab a coffee and bagel to start the day, pick up a meal on the way home from work or to simply dine out.

To serve local residents visiting campus, Northwest offers several free, 45-minute visitor parking spaces in Lot 25, located north of the Administration Building, and Lot 38, located east of Owens Library, both within easy walking distance to the Student Union and library.
