Anchor Bar Franchise taps CBRE for national roll-out.

CB Richard Ellis-Buffalo (CBRE) announced today that the Anchor Bar Franchise Company, LLC has retained the firm to provide exclusive real estate representation.

CBRE will represent the Anchor Bar Franchise Company, LLC with its nationwide roll-out of new restaurant properties. Heading this project will be Charles Clark and Julia Kramer, acting as point of contact for the company and its franchisees offering comprehensive real estate services, including site selection and lease negotiations.

Founded in 1964, the original Anchor Bar restaurant is a Buffalo, NY, destination internationally known for serving up over 1,000 pounds of wings daily to celebrities, political leaders and thousands of customers who seek the unique and great taste of Frank and Teressa's Original Buffalo Wings. Although many have tried to duplicate the delicacy, the closely guarded secret recipe is proclaimed, "best wings in the world." Buffalo wings have grown to be a national food icon and restaurant menu item.

John Veyette, president of the Anchor Bar Franchise, LLC, is enthusiastic about the restaurant concepts and building a relationship with CBRE. "The firm is well-known and respected in commercial real estate for honesty, integrity and commitment to customers, philosophies both of our organizations share," underscores Veyette. "We're delivering a respected brand to a national audience and the partners we select are imperative to our business.

"Working with CBRE will allow us to move quickly with full national market coverage."

In partnership with the proprietors of the original Anchor Bar, the Anchor Bar Franchise Company is offering three unique restaurant concepts based on the original site including replica restaurants and fast food operations.
