No. 1 Sports Bar could become national chain

The co-founders of Last In Concepts are parting ways after 10 years in the bar and restaurant business. Jack Warner and Brandon Landry will both pursue new business opportunities after having built a small bar and restaurant empire in Baton Rouge, including Walk-On's Bistreaux & Bar, Happy's Irish Pub, Schlittz & Giggles and The Roux House, and having expanded into other locations across south Louisiana.

Although financial terms of the deal were not disclosed, New Orleans businessman Rick Farrell bought out Warner's majority share of Last In Concepts, according to a release. Warner will remain a minority shareholder, but Farrell and Landry will continue to operate Happy's Irish Pub. They'll also operate Walk-On's, which they plan to expand into a national chain.

Warner, however, will own and operate Third Street bar The Roux House and Schlittz & Giggles. Warner might decide to franchise the pizza eatery, he told The Baton Rouge Business Report, "but I'm also looking at a variety of opportunities."
