Walk-On’s Sports Bistreaux Celebrates Successful Grand Opening of Cape Coral, Florida Location, Launches NEW Transfusion Cocktail LTO in the same week

Atlanta, GA (April 15, 2025): Walk-On’s Sports Bistreaux is excited to announce the official grand opening of its newest location in Cape Coral, Florida. The celebration took place on Monday, April 14, 2025, at 1127 SW Pine Island Rd, Cape Coral, FL 33991, and featured a series of exciting festivities that highlighted Walk- On’s commitment to the community.

“We are ecstatic to bring a restaurant like Walk-On’s to the Cape Coral community, and we can’t wait to carry on the brand culture and cuisine throughout Southwest Florida,” said Len Lemmer, Walk-On’s Franchisee. “We’re ready to serve Cape Coral and the surrounding areas and be THE restaurant to be for sports, family outings, and everything in between.”

The grand opening commenced with a ribbon-cutting ceremony where Cape Coral Walk-On’s Franchisee Len Lemmer cut the ribbon, officially welcoming guests to the newest dining and sports entertainment destination in the area. 

The electric, high-energy celebration gave a taste of what the restaurant will bring to the Cape Coral community each day. Welcoming members from the Hoops on Mission charity, local first responders, local athletes, and many community members, the grand opening gave Cape Coral the first taste of the community-driven, family-friendly sports bar with scratch-made food inspired by Cajun flavors.

To ring in the official opening, members from local sports teams burst through a breakaway banner, mimicking the pre-game football tradition.

“Each restaurant opening brings such a powerful energy and experience to the Walk-On’s name,” said Brandon Landry, Walk-On’s Founder. “Getting to watch our brand enter another community is something we’re proud of and can’t wait to bring people together over our incredible menu and culture.”

Transfusion Cocktail LTO
In addition to the exciting grand opening events, the Cape Coral location will be capitalizing on the brand's FIRST limited time offer of the year, the Transfusion Cocktail: a perfect blend of Owen’s Transfusion Mix and Ketel One Vodka, garnished with a lime wedge and a signature branded golf tee. The new cocktail was launched on April 7 in honor of the spring golf season and the high-profile Zurich Classic Golf Tournament, which Walk-On’s is a major sponsor of.

“Bringing a golf-inspired cocktail to our restaurants the same week we celebrate our newest opening brings an extra spark to an already exciting month,” said Chris Porcelli, Walk-On’s CEO. “We pride ourselves on being a restaurant that is always teed up for the big and small moments in the sports world, and this first limited-time cocktail of the year is a prime example of our commitment to owning sports in all that we do.”

Walk-On’s Sports Bistreaux is renowned for its scratch-made menu, family-friendly atmosphere, and commitment to creating memorable experiences for guests. Joining the Walk-On’s team means being part of a company that is committed to providing incredible food and a fun atmosphere. The Cape Coral location will feature a state-of-the-art sports bar, multiple big-screen TVs for game-day viewing, a large patio area for outdoor dining, and a welcoming atmosphere that caters to sports fans and families alike.
