More than 100 people camped out in front of Buffalo Wild Wings in James City County on Sunday night and Monday morning, hoping to be among the restaurant's first guests and to be on the receiving end of the eatery's giveaway.
The national restaurant chain opened its second Peninsula location Monday in New Town. One of the promotions that enticed people to camp out was a chance to win coupons for six free wings a week for the next year, said Winona Bullis, regional-training coordinator for Buffalo Wild Wings.
"It's a way to get our name out there and let people know that we're here," Bullis said.
Wing lovers began arriving early Sunday afternoon after hearing about the giveaway through word of mouth, restaurant advertisements or reading about it in the newspaper. By 9 a.m. Monday, the line nearly wrapped around the building.
The restaurant was expecting a crowd and got assistance from the Buffalo Wild Wings in Newport News to help coordinate the event. Staff members handed out stickers to the people in line every two hours beginning at 1 a.m. to ensure those who had been in the line longest qualified for the promotion.
Dale Salisbury and Russ Gibbons of Williamsburg were first in line. The two neighbors arrived at the restaurant about 1 p.m. Sunday in hopes of being among the first 100 customers to win the coupon books for free wings.
The men spent the evening popping popcorn and making grilled cheese sandwiches on camping gear brought by Gibbons.
Salisbury said he never had eaten at Buffalo Wild Wings before, but wanted a chance to try their wings.
"I'm taking a blind leap of faith, but I just love wings," he said.
