## Story

The sports-bar bistreaux brand will celebrate the grand opening on 29 August

Walk-On’s has announced the impending opening of its newest location in Pensacola, Florida. Located at 1240 Airport Blvd., the new site will open on 29 August and host an official ribbon-cutting ceremony with the local partners and the brand’s executive team. The first 100 guests will have the opportunity to win free Walk-Ons for a year; the winner will be selected at random and announced on opening day.

“We’re thrilled to bring Walk-On’s unique taste of Louisiana to the Pensacola community,” said Jason GIsclar, DBMC Restaurants president and Walk-On’s franchisee.

“With countless TVs, a variety of local beers on tap and mouth-watering cuisine served in a game day atmosphere, Walk-On’s is the perfect place for guests to cheer on their favorite Florida teams. We can’t wait to celebrate this exciting grand opening with everyone on Monday!”
