US-based chain Walk-On’s Bistreaux & Bar intends to open more than 15 new locations in North Carolina over the next five years.
As part of the expansion plans, the company has signed strategic franchise partnerships to open locations in Fayetteville, Wilmington, and Ft Bragg.
The company signed a partnership with franchisee Jason Sadowski to open a location at 2116 Skibo Rd in Fayetteville in April this year.
Sadowski will also open and operate the Wilmington location during the fourth quarter of this year.
In addition, Walk-On’s has partnered with franchisee Mark Ranger Jones to open the Ft Bragg location, which will mark the company’s entry to a military base.
Walk-On’s President & chief operating officer Scott Taylor said: “Growing our presence in North Carolina is an exciting chapter for our growth story as we break into untapped markets with new franchise partners.
