Buffalo Wild Wings, Inc. (NASDAQ:BWLD)

Ms. Smith concluded, “We continue on pace to meet each of our 2009 annual goals of 15% unit, 25% revenue, and 20 to 25% net earnings growth. Since going public nearly six years ago, you’ve heard us speak about our goal of becoming a restaurant chain of 1,000 units in the United States, which we believe we will achieve in 2013. We continue expansion into all fifty states, which will include small towns and urban markets, and development of nontraditional sites such as airports. With the groundwork underway for international development, this 1,000-unit goal is a stepping stone on our way to becoming a global brand.”
