One of the fastest growing chains in the country, Walk-Ons’ next Tampa Bay location will soon be open for business.

As we posted previously, Walk-Ons Sports Bistreaux is a Louisiana style-themed eatery. It was started by Brandon Landry and Jack Warner who were teammates playing basketball for LSU. As the company grew, it took on Drew Brees as a co-owner.

Locations in the Tampa area that are already open include stores in Lakeland and Wesley Chapel. Now, there’s a new location soon to open in Tampa’s Midtown shopping and residential district. They plan on opening on Monday, June 20th.

The first location for Walk-Ons Sports Bistreaux opened in September of 2003 not far from Louisiana State University. Today, they have locations in 12 states with more locations to be opened.
