Honestly, I kind of doubt Walk-On's leadership abilities due to the fact they remained "based" in Baton Rouge as long as they had. This state is a great place to develop business ideas. But it's also hostile to business and there's a myriad of things that make it idiotic to try and remain here when there's other states courting you.
How many businesses have hilariously left here besides Canes, Smoothie King, and now Walk-Ons? It's tough to keep up. Is anyone keeping a master list for when we need a laugh at how poor and stupid we are?

The only growth industry in Louisiana is healthcare.
And that's only because of medicare and medicaid.

There’s no cause for alarm; Mayor Broome was just on tv last week talking about another game changer; a non profit I’d growing vegetables in the old Howell Park and distributing it in NBR.
We don’t need Canes, Shaw or Walk Ons.
Things are gonna really explode when we get the express bus cranked up on Plank Road.

As long as they still help fund LSU’s NLI program.

Walk-On's just opened here about a 20 second walk from my office. Anything there worth the money?

Walk Ons is a great sports bar and they are one of the leaders for LSU in NIL

Why Atlanta and not Houston?
Georgia is going blue and taxes will slowly creep upwards.

Well yeah.

I moved back here recently after a being away for a few years. Needed a new place to live and figured it would be good to be near family again. Wanted to give it one more try so I could know either way.
I remember why I left. There’s nothing here for a young professional like me. The dating and job markets suck. There are good hunting and fishing opportunities but outside of that there isn’t much good outdoor recreation to do. If it wasn’t for family ties I would never come back here again.
When my lease expires I am out!

Atlanta sucks but I will say Emory and Georgia Tech are both solid schools.

Are they focusing more on expansion on the east coast? Atlanta is an interesting choice. I know Canes went to DFW, but they also expanded out west as well.
With a relocation like this, you would think the short list is made of cities with airports with direct flights to where you’re doing business.
A) Airport hub cities in the south/southeast, relatively centrally located to your restaurants (so Houston, Dallas, Atlanta, Charlotte—Miami probably eliminated due to length of flights/lack of central location)
B) educated workforce pool for new hires/established other company HQ in the same industry in the city—Probably eliminated Charlotte (Known for banking/retail/manufacturing but not restaurant/franchise HQ’s)
C) attractive city for both single folks (events/nightlife) and people with kids (good public schools in areas with reasonably affordable housing.
So basically no where in Louisiana. I’m guessing they have more existing and future restaurants on the east coast (compared to the southwest/western US) which swayed them to pick Atlanta. Or they just got better tax incentives to relocate there (vs Houston or Dallas).
