## Story

Walk-On’s Sports Bistreaux announced a new restaurant prototype. For the first time since 2016, the Atlanta, GA-based, family-friendly sports bar is bringing its amped-up menu and immersive sports experience to its fans with corporate-owned restaurants featuring a brand-new arena. The new restaurant format enhances the guest experience with upgraded technology and fine-tuned comfort.

Walk-On’s plans to develop restaurants using their new innovative format at multiple sites in the greater Atlanta area. Walk-On’s CEO Chris Porcelli believes that “this new format will significantly improve the guest experience and create additional opportunities for current and future franchisees while staying true to the heart of a walk-on.”

Every day is game day at Walk-On’s Sports Bistreaux. From an elevated exterior look, and dynamic interior design, to technological equipment upgrades in the kitchen, fans can continue to enjoy a flavorful, high-quality, scratch-kitchen menu with every visit.

“We’ve taken a lot of time to meet with our franchisees and ask them about the opportunities they face and collaborate to identify ways in which we can simplify operations,” said Chief Development Officer Jennifer Striepling.
