In addition, the sports bar chain intends to award 25 more franchises in a move to expand its presence across the US.
Walk-On’s Bistreaux & Bar president and chief operating officer Scott Taylor said: “Our pipeline is fuller than it’s ever been, but staying in the sweet spot of opening 20-25 new locations a year will remain a key part of our development strategy.
“We’re not trying to sell, sell, sell, open, open, open, and then exit. We’re in this for the long-run and want to make sure we do it right.
