I would *LOVE* to know what repairs Walk-Ons is having done and who they're paying to work during Fourth of July weekend to do them. Liars!
The Mexicans don't care about it being 4th of July weekend.

Walk-Ons and its employees are probably thrilled reading the tweets from all of the black people saying they will never go there again!

Even black service professionals complain about working Essence weekend.

Last I checked this is still America. They can open and close when they goshdamn feel like it.

I fail to see what is wrong with a business closing temporarily for any reason.

Most would tell you Bayou Classic is far worse. Walk-Ons going to start performing remodels every six months? Better secure that place against vandals.

I totally agree and think it is a brilliant move. I was just saying that they are probably thrilled right now because not only did this move save them problems during this Essence Festival but now that they are getting so much backlash it is going to save them from problems in the future.

SBJ...People are so fricking stupid. They're racist b/c they will be closed??? Do fricking tell...
I mean these places do close from time to time to make needed upgrades..
Like i've said before social media is a cancer on society.

Yeah man this. Sure there is a reason they chose that time to close but frick its their business.

Maybe, just maybe. They need some repairs done. Then out of good planning and thinking ahead, they scheduled it for the fourth of July weekend so all employees get a nice break for the holiday.
Who am I kidding? We all know what's up.

I Walk-On's defense, it feels like there is a festival in NOLA just about every weekend. They're obviously getting to store ready for football season.
