Strategic Expansion of Quick-Service Restaurants

Little General, based in Beckley, West Virginia, has established itself as a leader in the quick-service restaurant industry, managing popular franchises such as Subway, Arby’s, Taco Bell, Burger King, and more. The company's strategic approach to expansion includes not only offering well-known brands but also embracing innovative concepts like Buffalo Wild Wings 'Go' to cater to evolving consumer preferences.

Efficient Operations with Buffalo Wild Wings 'Go'

Buffalo Wild Wings 'Go' represents a shift towards smaller, more convenient formats for customers on the go. Little General's successful integration of this concept showcases its commitment to operational efficiency. With over 100 'Go' locations already established, Little General has tapped into the growing demand for quick and convenient dining experiences.

Adapting to Changing Consumer Behavior

The decision to introduce Buffalo Wild Wings 'Go' aligns with the changing preferences of consumers who seek convenience without compromising on quality. By providing a pickup window at the new 'Go' locations, Little General ensures that customers can enjoy their favorite wings without leaving their vehicles, catering to the need for speed and efficiency in today's fast-paced world.

Innovative Convenience Store Integration

The grand opening of Little General's first Buffalo Wild Wings 'Go' location in the Fairmont area also marked the company's foray into operating convenience stores. This innovative move not only enhances customer convenience by offering a one-stop shop for food and essentials but also demonstrates Little General's agility in adapting to market trends and expanding its business portfolio.
