To Techs and Owners,

If you currently have any upholstery work in the pipeline for any Buffalo Wild Wings, please pay attention to the following post.

Today Corporate BWW sent out a mass email to General Managers at all locations suspending all future expenditures that could be curtailed. The only absolute exception to this were costs directly related to food and drink. All other expenditures are to be minimized whenever possible. The reason for this sudden change in their day-to-day operations is not due to bankruptcy but to BWW’s going public in January. They want to minimize costs and maximize profits to look their best in the last quarter of the year. So, when the stock goes public, it will impress future potential stockholders.

If you have any upholstery work in the pipeline for BWW’s, even if it is already approved, please double check with your authorized decision maker before showing up with booth covers. I would hate for you to be surprised.

If you already have covers made you might be able to get them invoiced in the next day or two. If not, do not lose hope. Things will return to normal after the January date. Any upholstery work not done by the end of this month will be sorely needed after the first of the year.

I wish you all the best.
