One person was injured during an armed robbery at Buffalo Wild Wings in Shockoe Bottom early Wednesday morning.
The victim, and employee at the restaurant, was beaten about the face during the robbery, according to investigators. The victim's injuries are not considered life-threatening.
The incident happened around 9:30 a.m. Wednesday while 3 employees were opening the restaurant. The business was not open at the time of the robbery.
Police are looking for at least three suspects in this case. All threewere wearing hooded winter jackets and masks when they came into the building from a rear unlocked door.
Before the suspects fled the restaurant, they forced the3 employees into the freezer where they locked them inside.
Police are still searching for suspects and are asking anyone with information to call crimestoppers at 780-1000.

Of course they did. There's a sign on the door to help them locate potential victims:

Aren't Buffalo Wild Wings a franchise business so each owner could set their own rules? My friend and I have OC'ed at the location on Hull St. in Chesterfield with no problems and no sign. I have OC'ed multiple times in the Bottom but not at BW3s. Does this location actually have a sign? Not that it matters I guess as I'm sure that carry is prohibited for employees.

The one at Greenbrier posts a sign prohibiting all firearms. There was another thread around here that had the same thing.

If that's their sign, it looks to me like they only discriminate against semi-autos (kind of like DC). I'd have to assume wheel guns are okay...
