"Downtown Portland's Buffalo Wild Wings Closure Linked to Crime and Drug Activity"
Buffalo Wild Wings has closed its downtown Portland location in a city-owned garage due to safety concerns and unpaid rent, according to the franchise owner. The city claims the sports bar owed $106,000 in rent and had not paid since August. The building had become a "haven for crime and drug use," leading to a significant drop in sales. City officials have been working to address safety issues in downtown Portland's SmartPark garages, including increased security patrols.
