Title: Founder and co-owner, Walk-On’s Bistreaux & Bar
Age: 39
Hometown: Baton Rouge
Brandon Landry never expected the kind of success he’s currently experiencing.
The founder and co-owner of Walk-On’s has led the company into waves of expansion. Walk-On’s first opened in 2003 near Tiger Stadium, and the brand has grown tremendously since then. It was recently named Technomic’s 2018 No.1 fastest growing full-service chain in its Top 500 Chain Restaurant Report, and it’s the highest-ranked Baton Rouge company on the Inc. 5000 List. Walk-On’s has a title sponsorship with the Independence Bowl. And, oh yeah—Saints star quarterback Drew Brees is now an active co-owner and partner. The sports restaurant and bar is ever expanding within Louisiana and beyond, with more than 100 locations planned across 15 states.
