Beats me. All I know is Walk-Ons makes money and I doubt they are jumping into this with a blindfolded arse first.
Walk On's makes money when it positions itself in its market that desires a Walk On's.
LSU... Obviously!
Coursey and Sherwood.... Good Move because of traffic, location, and demographics.
Other possible locations for success in my estimation would be Siegen, P'ville, Gonzales, Denham, and even Central or Zachary around the new Americana Development.
Town Center???
NO!!! They don't understand the dynamics of the area. Neither did the previous failed sports bars who gave it a go there, yet had marketing who said it was a good move. Yeah, they got it wrong too.

I keep forgetting which successful bar/restaurant you own.
Again, I'm sure if this report is true they did their due diligence. But maybe they should have just asked you.

You keep talking as if Town Center and the surrounding area is some bastion of high society.
It isn't. Hell, isn't there a Books a Million, a Zea's, and a Five Guys in there?
At any rate Walk-Ons certainly has better food than the garbage that Mug Shots was serving up. Everything in that center is a chain I think. This will be a local chain that has proven they know how to run their properties. I'm sure they'll be fine.
I don't have any special affection for walk-ons, but the place gets crapped on a lot. In the spring I don't enjoy much more than hanging out at the back bar waiting to walk over the baseball stadium when the weather is nice.

To be fair, walk one is better than champs and mugshots. Champs had one good thing on their menu, nachos. Mugshots had crappy burgers and it was supposed to be a burger joint.
