Buffalo Wild Wings Go and Dunkin Donuts open in MacArthur
MACARTHUR, WV (WVNS) — Inside the Buffalo Wild Wings Go in MacArthur, crew members prepared for their grand opening, and Beckley- Raleigh County Chamber of Commerce and Little General Store representatives cut the ribbon on the new business and shared donuts and coffee.
'We're super excited that we've had all the community involvement,' said Buffalo Wild Wings Go Shift Supervisor Regina Goins, moments before the store opening on Friday, April 4, 2025. 'People were outside camping at seven o'clock when we were getting ready to leave. So we're just super, super excited and cannot wait for everyone to come in and support us and enjoy this new opportunity with us.'
Outside the store, dozens of people braved a downpour as they waited on the line for the store to open its doors. A promotion offered the first 50 customers free wings for one year, according to the waiting customers.
Some folks even camped overnight to be among the first group of customers.
'We went out, pretty early in the morning, twelve or a little bit after, and walked the whole way,' said Jack Knapper, who said he showed up shortly after midnight to wait.

Landon Keeton had brought his younger sister, Lily Keeton, at around 8:30 a.m., he said.
The two had been waiting for nearly two hours.
Lily said she didn't have a favorite flavor of wing sauce.
'I don't really eat wings that much,' she said, adding, 'It's free wings.'
Matthew Hensley, who was also waiting for the store to open, said he liked Honey BBQ wings.
'It's just an amazing flavor. I love it, ' he said. 'I just need the protein and all the calories. I'm trying to gain some weight. I play football for Independence.'
Inside the store, Charlie Houck of Little General Stores passed a box of donuts out the door to the crowd, as Buffalo Wild Wings GO workers made last-minute preparations and watched the doors.

'We're a local business and we're here supporting another local business, and happy to see this for our community, adding jobs, and personally great for me,' said Kayla Saunders of Ascend HR. 'I'll pass every morning every evening.'
Buffalo Wild Wings Go and Dunkin Donuts both opened on Friday at 1974 Robert C. Byrd Drive in MacArthur.
