Walk-On's Sports Bistreaux has signed an agreement with Port Royal Brands to develop 20 new restaurants in Georgia and Tennessee. This deal follows Walk-On's recent announcement of a new restaurant format with a smaller layout, improved technology, and an enhanced dining experience.

Phil Sanford, Founder and Chairman of Port Royal, has substantial experience in the restaurant industry. He has previously grown The Krystal Company Restaurant Brand to over 400 outlets in 13 states and served as Chairman and CEO of Jackson Hewitt Tax Services. Jef Wallace, CEO of Port Royal Brands, is an experienced leader with expertise in various areas of the restaurant industry, including real estate, supply chain, operations, and finance.

Chris Porcelli, CEO of Walk-On's, sees the partnership with Port Royal as a significant opportunity to strengthen the brand and achieve long-term growth goals. The new restaurants will feature a modern design, immersive sports experience, and state-of-the-art kitchens.

The first restaurant under this agreement is expected to open in 2025. Walk-On's aims to bring its distinctive sports bar experience to hundreds more locations across America.
