He said the new location will be just less than 6,000 square feet and will have an outdoor patio seating area. Inside, it will look similar to The Railyard location and the location at 68th and O streets that opened in 2017. The exterior will be slightly different, as it will incorporate the distinctive colonial elements of the Williamsburg shopping center and area.

"Buffalo Wings & Rings will be a great addition to the development and to the neighborhood," Michelle Keogh, president of Properties at Hampton Enterprises, said in a news release. "We are excited to be working with the Bartons and look forward to them becoming a part of the Hampton family."

The Bartons, who own about half the Subway locations in Lincoln, became Buffalo Wings & Rings franchisees to open the Canopy Street location in August 2013.

The restaurant was the first tenant to sign a lease in The Railyard development and the first one to open. It had a five-year original lease and then signed a one-year extension.

Barton declined to comment about whether disputes with The Railyard's ownership had led Buffalo Wings & Rings to leave.
