A large, local franchisee of Buffalo Wild Wings Grill & Bar has sold its 16 restaurants in central Indiana to a group led by the former president of the Papa John’s pizza chain.

The Indianapolis-based Franchisee Group sold the restaurants for an undisclosed amount to Greenwich, Conn.-based Consolidated Wings Investment LLC.

Periculum Capital Co. LLC in Indianapolis, which brokered the sale for the Franchisee Group, announced the transaction Tuesday afternoon.

Consolidated Wings is led by Dan Holland, the former president of Louisville-based Papa Johns International Inc., and Bill Ogden, the founder and managing director of Granite Capital Partners LLC in Greenwich.

Peter Watson founded the Franchisee Group in 1996 with the opening of a Buffalo Wild Wings restaurant in Lafayette. He grew the company to include 16 restaurants with overall annual revenue of $36 million.

Founded in 1982, Buffalo Wilds Wings is headquartered in Minneapolis. It has 780 locations in 45 states.

Holland was president at Papa John's from 1989 to 1995 and led the company while it grew from 23 units to more than 900.

Consolidated Wings reported to the Securities and Exchange Commission in August that it had raised $7 million in a private offering.

    Hopefully this includes the franchises in Castleton and Lawrence. Those 2 businesses have to be the worst managed establishments I've ever been in. The staff is always clueless and there is obviosly no training whatsoever. Always short-staffed. If their wings weren't soo good, and beer so cheap I'd never go...and even with that, I've begun avoiding those stores.

  1. These higher rates Co. e about only because physicians are now hospital employees. otherwise physicians couldn't charge these rates and share the windfall with the hospital. Community/rural hospitals probably not buying physicians practices and thus weren't getting the windfall anyway.

  2. The incentive for poor people to get themselves off public assistance and "no longer be poor" is even with help...they're STILL POOR! Being poor, even with some assistance, isn't all that pleasant. (I speak from experience) It's a stubborn myth that poor people, who are on public assistance, are sitting in the lap of luxury. You should try living on just those "freebies" that you mentioned and see how meager they actually are. By the way, I didn't mean you had to buy/own a puppy...just pet one. :)

  3. As near as I can tell the minority has ZERO constitutional obligation to offer a quorum to the majority. A requirement for quorum was inserted into the constitution so that tyrannical majorities could not simply shove through odious and objectionable legislation (which is exactly what they did.) By allowing a tyrannical majority to charge fines against the minority for exercising their constitutional prerogative to deny quorum the court as made a mockery of constitutional governance in the state of Indiana.

  4. The voters elected the Reps to make a vote not walk out on the vote. They had to the right to exercise their opinion and vote "no" to the bill. Let me ask you this if you walked out of your job for 5 straight weeks would you get paid? Would you even have a job to go back to? If any elected official walks out on the people they should be arrested for stealing tax dollars from the public. They were elected to do a job and not leave when the job gets stuff.

  5. I have been to several of their locations in Pennsylvania and always go in for 1 item and leave with a basket full of things. I'm very happy they decided on Indiana, now if only they would put the other store in eastside.
