Walk-On’s Sports Bistreaux in Fayetteville, North Carolina has closed its doors permanently. The Louisiana-based chain initially started in Baton Rouge, Louisiana before expanding into North Carolina by opening at 2116 Skibo Road in Fayetteville in 2019. The closure of this location was announced on the restaurant’s door with a sign that expressed gratitude to patrons for being part of their journey and looked forward to continued support at other locations.
The radio station WKML reported seeing the sign on May 8, with it still there as of Monday. The sign also mentioned the closest Walk-On’s Sports Bistreaux now being in Wilmington, as the Fayetteville location is permanently closed. The corporate office confirmed the closure via email, citing a lack of information about the reasons behind the decision. Despite efforts to reach out to property owners, former employees and checking the restaurant’s online presence no additional information was gathered. The Fayetteville store’s Facebook page is also no longer available and Google lists the location as permanently closed.
