## Story

PHOENIX - The Phoenix community is about to have their new go-to destination for scratch-made Cajun and American cuisine when Walk-On’s Sports Bistreaux makes its Arizona debut in Gilbert on Monday, March 14!

Located in the Gilbert Gateway Towne Center at 4928 S. Power Road, the new Walk-On’s restaurant will kick off its grand opening celebration with an official ribbon-cutting ceremony hosted by the Gilbert Chamber of Commerce at 10 a.m. To add to the excitement, the first 100 guests in line will receive a $10 gift card and a voucher for a free small Cheese Fry or dessert! Additionally, two lucky diners will be selected at random to receive free Walk-On’s for a year and a signed Drew Brees jersey.

“We’re honored to have the opportunity to introduce this best-in-class brand to the great state of Arizona,” said Franchisee Ken Weaver. “Phoenix is a booming market and there’s nothing in the area that compares to Walk-On’s mouthwatering cuisine served in a game day atmosphere. We look forward to serving the Taste of Louisiana to Phoenix locals and visitors alike and can’t wait to celebrate with everyone on Monday.”

Walk-On’s first Phoenix-area restaurant marks the brand’s first Arizona location and 63rd systemwide. Walk-On’s Gilbert will be open Sunday through Thursday from 11 a.m. to 10 p.m., and Friday and Saturday from 11 a.m. to midnight.

At Walk-On’s, each dish is made from scratch, using fresh ingredients to bring its mouthwatering, Cajun and Americana cuisine to life. The diverse menu features unique twists on game-day staples and upscale takes on Louisiana mainstays, such as Crawfish Etouffee, Duck & Andouille Gumbo and Krispy Kreme Donut Bread Pudding.
