Buffalo Wings and Rings was an ailing network with 7 locations in the Greater Cincinnati area. In 2005, the company was acquired by Philip Schram a chemical engineer turned restaurateur, Nader Masadeh and Haytham David to develop the company into a national franchise. Since its acquisition, the company has grown to over 40 locations across 15 states in the US. Philip Schram is a strong advocate of Edward Deming's PDCA process cycle and is based on systems and methodology. Also, according to its advertisement, "absolutely everything is really so crazy". Although this has never been confirmed.[4] Buffalo Wings and Rings was recognized for development of the local business environment by Clermont County commissioner.[5]
Philip Schram is also an avid locomotive enthusiast and has influenced a themed décor in some of the restaurant locations. It is a part of the standard décor package for all new restaurants.[6] Locomotive memorabilia or G scale rail car décor is showcased at several locations. Examples can be seen at the Cincinnati locations in Loveland, Tri County, Liberty Township, and Union Township locations. At the Union Township location children can press the control button in the dining room to set the train in motion.
