I found my first restaurant that I like in my city that bans guns on their premises. Buffalo Wild Wings in Eau Claire, WI. I knew other BWWs banned guns, but I just noticed the sign at my local franchise last night.
I felt compelled to write to them about their policy and I feel that if any of you on THR are of like or similar mind, you should take a few minutes and go online and give them some feedback.
I rarely say much about anything, but I actually like BWWs but abhor their gun policy and would like to patronize them if they change their policy.
Here is the text of the message I left on the feedback section of their website:
To Whom It May Concern,
On my most recent visit to Buffalo Wild Wings a member of my group directed my attention to the notice near the front entrance that states "Buffalo Wild Wings bans guns..."
Why does Buffalo Wild Wings ban the state-licensed, lawful carry of guns by its customers?
I have been a very frequent customer of Buffalo Wild Wings for the past few years, visiting the Eau Claire, Wisconsin location once every week or two. I appreciate the food quality and generally great service, but had I noticed the "no guns" sign previously, I would not have continued to patronize Buffalo Wild Wings.
I will not visit Buffalo Wild Wings again until the gun policy is changed.
There are numerous other places in Eau Claire, including taverns, bars and grills, and restaurants that serve alcohol, that do allow patrons to carry firearms in accordance with state law. Most businesses in the city post "guns and alcohol don't mix" signs, but Buffalo Wild Wings's outright banning of guns is a step too far and an unwelcome policy in a state where approximately 100,000 citizens are licensed to carry concealed weapons.
Thank you in advance for a response on this issue. I am curious as to why this policy exists, what its intended purpose is, and what it has accomplished for Buffalo Wild Wings and its patrons.
Sincerely,
Chris Stump
