“Their whole kind of scene is the original buffalo wing,” said Reilly Marchant with commercial real estate brokerage Cushman & Wakefield | Thalhimer, who handled the lease negotiations on behalf of franchise operator David Allred.

Anchor Bar has seven locations — five in New York and two in Canada — with plans to open more in the coming year.

The restaurant specializes in chicken wings with nine sauce varieties and bone-in and boneless wing options on the menu. The restaurant also serves sandwiches, salads, wraps and pizza.

The dining room caters to families, while the bar has more of a sports bar vibe.

Anchor Bar’s creation of the Buffalo chicken wing began in 1964 when then-co-owner Teressa Bellissimo deep-fried some wings and flavored them with a secret sauce, according to the company’s website. “The wings were an instant hit and it didn’t take long for people to flock to the bar to experience their new taste sensation.”

Marchant said he and Allred looked at locations all over the Richmond region, but settled on Stony Point because of its proximity to residential neighborhoods and convenient access to larger swaths of Richmond and Henrico County. “It’ll be a great spot to go to and watch football,” Marchant said.
