Wilmington, NC – North Carolinians are about to have a new go-to destination to cheer on the Panthers, Hurricanes and Hornets when Walk-On’s Sports Bistreaux makes its Wilmington debut on Monday, July 5.

Located at 3710 Oleander Drive, the new Walk-On’s restaurant will kick off its grand opening celebration with an official ribbon-cutting ceremony hosted by the Wilmington Chamber of Commerce at 10 a.m. To add to the excitement, guests can enter a drawing for the chance to win free Walk-On’s for a year! Walk-On’s Wilmington will accept entries through its Facebook page and in the restaurant during its first full month of business and will announce the winner the week of Aug. 2.

“We’re thrilled to bring Walk-On’s to Wilmington,” said Franchisee Jason Sadowski. “There’s nothing like our authentic Cajun cuisine in the area, so I’m confident that Walk-On’s will be a hit. Plus, our game-day atmosphere is perfect for cheering on your favorite sports teams. We’ve hired 200 winning All-American Team Members and we can’t wait to celebrate our grand opening with everyone next week.”

When Wilmington’s first Walk-On’s opens, it will mark the second in North Carolina and 53^rd systemwide.

Walk-On’s Wilmington will be open Sunday through Thursday from 11 a.m. to 11 p.m., and Friday and Saturday from 11 a.m. to midnight. For more information about the new restaurant, visit facebook.com/WalkOnsWilmington.
