Buffalo Wild Wings to mark anniversary
BOARDMAN
Buffalo Wild Wings at 7401 Market St. will celebrate its 20th anniversary from 5 to 11 p.m. Sept. 10.
The Party at the Mall will be reminiscent of the Party on the Plaza events that were hosted for many years at the Buffalo Wild Wings at the downtown Youngstown location. This party will celebrate the return of football season, as well as Oktoberfest and fall-style beers. A concert will include local artists Cody Gibson, Graphic Pink and 80s Proof.
This event will be in partnership with The Hope Foundation of the Mahoning Valley, and will raise money for its DreamCatchers Fund.
This charitable initiative was founded with the purpose of changing the lives of children with a life-threatening medical condition by creating amazing experiences.

PNC upgrades ATMs
PITTSBURGH
PNC Bank is rolling out upgrades to its 9,000 ATMs to improve security and convenience for customers.
The upgrades enable ATMs to read EMV – or “chip” – cards, which are harder to counterfeit than traditional magnetic stripe-only cards, according to Ken Justice, senior vice president and ATM executive. The rollout will be completed by mid-September.
Beginning Oct. 1, the fraud liability for MasterCard will shift to the ATM owner, making it essential that all machines are up to date. Visa will shift liability in October 2017.
