Lancaster Wings Has Family Fun With ‘ Family Feud ’
Lancaster Wings Inc .’ s
Lancaster , Ohio , location was recently host to several parties for a Central Ohio family for a very exciting reason . The Young family took home thousands in cash , along with the title of “ winner ,” and a new car from the national TV game show “ Family Feud ” and wanted to celebrate with BWW ! They went through five rounds on the long-running show , and after filming for several days in Atlanta , along with a full house of over 100 friends and family , came to the Lancaster Buffalo Wild Wings ® for four nights to watch the show air on The CW Television Network .
The Young family chose to celebrate and host all of their watch parties at the Lancaster location as it was large enough to accommodate the party with more than enough TVs for each night . They held all four watch parties at the restaurant from Feb . 17-19 and Feb . 22 at 7 p . m ., coordinated by Shayne

The Youngs ’ success and their parties at BWW were even shown on Fox28 News after “ Family Feud ” reached out and notified Lancaster local media about the family ’ s victory . To further promote the event , the watch parties were also advertised on a digital sign in front of the store , which brought in a large following on top of the already robust attendance list . Perhaps Buffalo Wild Wings may just be this family ’ s good luck charm – or , at the very least , a place to enjoy their good fortune with good friends and great food .
“ Our goal is to help make our local community the best place to live , work , play and dine ,” said Larry Tipton , Lancaster Wings franchisee . “ We were thrilled to be the restaurant of choice to host the Young family ’ s ‘ Family Feud ’ watch party , and congratulate them on their success !” S

BWW Employee Embodies Honesty
Kaylie Cyr , a server at Pictor Enterprises ’ Buffalo Wild Wings in South Portland , Maine , recently exemplified employee excellence and honesty . On March 10 , Cyr was working at restaurant # 3544 when she went to bus one of her tables and noticed an unsealed envelope left behind by a customer . Inside , she discovered $ 1,700 in cash – a mighty sum for anyone , let alone a 24-year-old college student . However , without a second thought , Cyr immediately turned in the envelope to the manager on duty , Paul Traugott , who recognized the name written on the front of the envelope , Glen Morse of Morse Builders .
Although Traugott knew this guest by name , he did not have enough information to track him down . Traugott left a note in the manager ’ s log describing what happened and to expect a guest to come back in the following morning looking for the envelope . Sure enough , the next morning , Morse came looking for the money , and after the BWW staff was able to verify his identity , it was promptly returned to him .
“ We are very proud of Kaylie for doing the right thing ! We are lucky to have her on our team . She represents what we look for in all of our team members , and we couldn ' t be happier for her for the recognition she is receiving ,” continued Jason Cole , Pictor Enterprises franchisee . “ Setting a good example is contagious , and hopefully , we will hear of more uplifting stories like
this one in the future .” Morse , who had the envelope on hand for payroll and bills , was so impressed with her honesty that he came into the restaurant a few days later and gave Cyr $ 100 to say thank you . Morse also cryptically mentioned to Cyr that this deed would not go unnoticed . A few days after , the Portland Press Herald asked to speak with Cyr because the guest had called the newspaper and told them the story . This led to a small web story about the event , which then prompted the local radio station , WJBQ Q97.9 , to feature a story on Cyr as well .
BWW employee Kaylie Cyr is a B-Dubs ® team member who showed exemplary honesty and professionalism when a customer left a large sum of cash by accident .
“ I ’ m happy I was able to give him his money back . I know I ’ d want someone to do the same for me . I wasn ’ t expecting to get anything in return , and I was surprised and happy that he gave me $ 100 for turning it in ,” said Cyr . S
