## Story

PORT ARTHUR, Texas - Walk-On’s Sports Bistreaux will start serving the Taste of Louisiana to the Port Arthur community on Monday, Jan. 11.

Located at 2729 Jimmy Johnson Blvd., Port Arthur’s first Walk-On’s will kick off its grand opening celebration with an official ribbon-cutting ceremony hosted by the Port Arthur Chamber of Commerce at 11 a.m.

Guests should consider arriving early because the first 20 customers will receive a mini football autographed by New Orleans Saints superstar and Walk-On’s Co-Owner Drew Brees. To add to the excitement, guests can enter a drawing for the chance to win free Walk-On’s for a year! Walk-On’s Port Arthur will accept entries during its first full month of business and will announce the winner the week of Feb.

“We couldn’t be more excited to introduce Walk-On’s signature Cajun cuisine to Port Arthur,” said Franchisee CO Valet. “Port Arthur is just a stone’s throw away from the Bayou State, so we’re confident that the community will love Walk-On’s Taste of Louisiana. We’ve hired 200 incredible All-American team members, and we’re all looking forward to serving the community starting Monday.”

Walk-On’s is renowned for its signature Louisiana-inspired menu served up in a game-day atmosphere by an All-American Team. When the new restaurant opens, it will be the 15th Walk-On’s in Texas and 46th system-wide.

Port Arthur’s new Walk-On’s will be open Sunday through Thursday from 11 a.m. to 11 p.m., and Friday and Saturday from 11 a.m. to midnight.

The safety and well-being of its guests and team members is and always will be a top priority for Walk-On’s. In addition to adhering to all federal, state and local guidelines, Walk-On’s has implemented enhanced sanitization standards and processes.

At Walk-On’s, each dish is made from scratch, using fresh ingredients to bring its mouthwatering, Cajun 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.
