Walk-On's moving corporate headquarters out of Louisiana. See where it's going
BATON ROUGE, La. (BRPROUD) -- The headquarters of Walk-On's Sports Bistreaux will be leaving its home in Baton Rouge to move to Atlanta.
“Baton Rouge is the birthplace of Walk-On’s Sports Bistreaux, and the spirit of Louisiana will always be a part of our brand’s DNA," said Andy Izquierdo, vice president of communications for Walk-On’s.
Walk-On's is a sports bar restaurant serving sandwiches, tacos and salads. Signature dishes include the Louisiana Platter with fried catfish, jumbo shrimp, crawfish étouffée, waffle fries and hush puppies.
"While Baton Rouge holds a special place for the Walk-On’s family, our company is at a crossroads of growth and opportunity, and with that comes a new headquarters in Atlanta," Izquierdo said.
Brandon Landry, a Baton Rouge native and former LSU basketball player, opened the first Walk-On's in 2003 near Tiger Stadium. New Orleans Saints legend Drew Brees became a co-owner and partner in 2015.
Twenty years after its opening, the franchise has grown with locations across the country.
"As a restaurant industry hub, this location will allow us to continue our growth trajectory, better serving our franchisees and guests.”
