Anyone know if they are relocating elsewhere in BR or leaving town altogether?

Can’t wait to see how Business Report tries to spin its beloved Walk On’s leaving this town.

Someone should put a book store there.

But that was a real weird use of that space anyway. Lots of dead space.

Also why the large bar in HQ?

They outgrew their downtown spot a few years back and moved there. Now I guess they are expanding again?

This one is worth keeping. We should try to make sure they stay in Louisiana and hopefully bring qualified folks here. Louisiana restaurant chains are a hit - we need to keep as much of their corporate ops here as possible.

They opened up a corporate location in Atlanta two years ago where the CFO, Accounting, Technology, Franchising, Analytics, and other corporate roles were moved. Doesn't make any sense to keep a corporate HQ in Baton Rouge as it is hard attracting talent to move to Baton Rouge.

but I don't understand why they are leaving this great city when John Bel Edwards did such an incredible job.

According to that floor plan, the HQ is mostly a mock restaurant, basketball court, gym and games area with like 4 offices and conference rooms. Tremendously wasteful.

Come on, people. Canes didn’t move their headquarters to Dallas. They just moved all of their operations. They still have an office here so they can claim Baton Rouge. At least that’s what they said.

Meanwhile, anytime a Baton Rouge business is open for longer than 40 years, everyone on here bitches about them and says they aren’t good enough.

Its a mid tier regional chain restaurant, lets pump the breaks on needing to attract outside talent. BR area likely has plenty of people that could work there.

The next Ruby Tuesday's isn't exactly the next Apple.
