MINNEAPOLIS – Buffalo Wild Wings Grill and Bar officially began its Canadian expansion recently with a ground breaking in Oshawa to mark the start of construction on its first Canadian Buffalo Wild Wings location. The company has hired four managers to oversee the Canadian business and new store including Robert Stewart, regional manager for Canada; and Carol Law, general manager of the new Oshawa location.

"The ground breaking in Oshawa is the culmination of a long journey for us and also marks the official beginning of an exciting new endeavor in Canada," said Mo Sawda, managing director, Buffalo Wild Wings International.
