For some restaurants in Bowling Green, the key to success was a move — just down the street.

Mister Spots and Buffalo Wild Wings are two such local restaurants that recently changed locations and found their revenue increased.

“The new location is helping us out,” said Gabrielle Crisp, Buffalo Wild Wings marketing manager. “It’s going very well.”

Buffalo Wild Wings had its grand opening April 16.

The new location has a bigger size, parking lot and occupancy.

The restaurant increased its size from 195 to 416.

Quite a few people came back after the relocation, she said.

Moving further down Wooster Street gave the restaurant more room for parking as well.

The new building also provided more space for food preparation.

“The kitchen is much larger,” she said. “We can pump out more food.”

Pumping out more food is a goal Mister Spot’s General Manager Mark Koldan said he has for the new location.

Mister Spots moved from its original location on Court Street to Main Street Aug. 6.

“We were an older building and we wanted to expand,” he said. “We’re getting more exposure on Main Street.”

Besides changing its 26-year-old location, Koldan said the most important part of Mister Spots is still there.

“The food hasn’t changed,” he said. “We’ve just gotten a nicer atmosphere and a different building.”

Customers have also taken notice of the nicer atomosphere.

“I’d say 95 percent of them are very happy,” he said. “They like the atmosphere and the room.”

Koldan said he hopes the customers who weren’t aware of the location-change will find the new Mister Spots easily.

“I’m hoping the homecoming people won’t miss us,” he said. “We hope that goes well and we continue making food.”

Although moving buildings does mean an opportunity to enjoy more room, it can also mean enjoying a better location.

Senior Natasha Burton said she likes the new Buffalo Wild Wings location because of the convenience.

“It’s very convenient because I literally live right down the street,” she said. “I don’t have to go to the other side of town.”

The restaurant’s new location may also save customers money.

“I don’t have to waste gas money going somewhere else when I’m having a craving,” she said.

The money saved from the drive to these restaurants could be spent on its new menu items.

Buffalo Wild Wings added more drinks with its move.

“We’ve doubled our tap,” Crisp said. “We’ve got 30 beers on tap.”
