"Wings, beer and sports" is the motto of Buffalo Wild Wings, which plans to open Sept. 1 in new spaces at 407 W. Neider Ave. (Super Sup-plements Mall off Highway 95). The place will seat 216 customers at tables, the bar and patio with 65 big-screen TVs and take-out.

The menu includes hand-spun traditional and boneless wings with 22 sauces and seasonings, salads, flatbreads, wraps, beefy burgers, many shareables, 36 beers on tap, 30-plus in bottles, wine, spirits and bottomless lemonades and limeades.

Named "Buffalo" after its sought-recipe source in Buffalo, N.Y., and "Wild" for its many sauces, the company began in 1982 in Kent, Ohio, and now has 1,030 locations in all 50 states and 17 internationally.

Key people here are managers Dave Marquardt and Kyra Siroshton, with about 150 employees. The new location opens at 11 a.m. daily, closing at 2 a.m. Monday through Saturday and midnight Sundays.

On opening day, the first 100 guests will receive free wings for a year. Happy hours are 2-7 p.m. and 10 p.m. to midnight, and specials are on Tuesdays and Thursdays. Check www.buffalowildwings.com.

Capone's adds Hayden corner

The former gas station in front of Capone's Pub at Hayden Avenue and Government Way will soon become a handy parking lot for the pub and grill and center of sports memorabilia.

Owners Tom and Teresa Capone opened the Coeur d'Alene location in 1991, the Post Falls outlet eight years ago and the Hayden spot a year ago. Check www.caponespub.com.
