Buffalo Wild Wings and Jimmy John’s Open Co-Branded Location in Florida

Buffalo Wild Wings Go and Jimmy John’s are set to launch their first combined restaurant in Palmetto, Florida, on August 18. This new co-branded location aims to provide customers with the option to enjoy both wings and subs under one roof, catering to the local community’s game day culture.

Strategic Location Choice

The choice of Palmetto is intentional, as the area is described as “a community built around game days,” featuring local high school football and Pittsburgh Pirates spring training events. The restaurant will feature a shared entrance and seating area, while each brand will operate its own kitchen. Notably, Jimmy John’s will maintain its drive-thru service.

Co-Branding Trend in the Restaurant Industry

This opening is part of a broader trend in the restaurant industry where co-branding is becoming increasingly popular. Inspire Brands, the parent company of both chains, has previously launched other co-branded locations, including Dunkin’/Jimmy John’s and Jimmy John’s/Baskin Robbins. Other companies, such as Dine Brands and MTY Food Group, are also exploring similar strategies by pairing their brands to enhance customer offerings.
