Walk-Ons in Central, what's the story?

The "new concept" building has been completed for probably around 3 months now but it's been sitting there abandoned/empty. Anybody have the scoop?

Would one do well over there? The Baton Rouge locations aren’t that far and there’s also one right down the road in Denham Springs.

I think it would... they've already invested in the building so I hope they think so as well

They're putting one in Central now too? They've expanded far too much and lowered the food quality. It's basically Applebee's with TVs at this point.

I don't they've gotten their final inspection from the State Fire Marshal scheduled yet. That would hold up opening.

Yes but this is a much smaller building than what people are used to, when they announced a few years ago they said it was an experimental concept

Maybe they gave up on it when they abandoned BR and moved to ATL.
Brandon Landry doesn't care either way. He got his money and ran.

The award-winning brand today announced the unveiling of a new restaurant prototype – the Wildcat – which will debut with longtime partner DMBC’s newest location that is slated to open on Sullivan Road, near Grand Settlement Boulevard, in the Baton Rouge suburb of Central. This will be the first location to feature the Wildcat and will be used as the blueprint for DMBC’s remaining six Walk-On’s that are still in development.
Walk-On’s Wildcat design is the newest prototype introduced by the brand and offers franchisees more options when it comes to real estate and construction. Smaller than its big brother, the Bulldog, the new design still packs a punch with seating for more than 200 in a 6,000-square-foot, modern footprint with interior and exterior dining. In addition, the new design requires less upfront costs and offers more flexibility and improved unit economics for a new restaurant.

Just saw on FB comments the investor filed bankruptcy
Someone replied they heard the same from the contractor
Doesn’t seem to be much happening at the old Sammy’s either
