sold writing

Landry’s owner Tilman Fertitta will acquire BR Guest Hospitality from Starwood Capital Group, the New York Post reports.

Details of the purchase were not disclosed to the publication, which noted that the deal would close in the coming weeks.

Through acquiring New York City-based BR Guest, of which Starwood Capital has had at least partial ownership since 2007, Fertitta will add to his portfolio 15 restaurants under multiple brands, including Dos Caminos and Strip House. 

“We plan on keeping all of the restaurants,” Fertitta’s general counsel told the Post. “We don’t plan on changing anything.”

As owner of Landry’s, Fertitta lays claim to such chains as Bubba Gump Shrimp Co., Rainforest Cafe and McCormick and Schmick’s.
