Super Bowl day is a Super Bowl of wings!
Local restaurants and retailers North America wide are seeing a spike in business ahead of the Super Bowl as fans prepare for their Super Bowl parties.
Kristina Boehm, a regional representative for Buffalo Wild Wings, said the restaurant chain typically sells 3,000 to 4,000 wings on a given night accompanying a sporting event. For the Super Bowl, that number usually increases to 6,000 to 10,000.
Some wing places said they are dealing with the highest prices ever, but are not hiking their prices. The National Chicken Council said chicken wings are more expensive than skinless, boneless chicken breasts right now. The council attributed the price increase, in part, to demand. The council said it expects the prices to come down, but not until after another big sports event -- March Madness.
