Tilman Fertitta Announces Major Expansion Of Landry's Restaurant Empire Into New International Markets
HOUSTON, TX – Billionaire restaurateur and Houston Rockets owner Tilman Fertitta has unveiled plans for an aggressive international expansion of his Landry’s hospitality conglomerate, targeting key markets in Europe and Asia. According to an official statement released Tuesday morning, Fertitta confirmed a multi-billion-dollar investment strategy to open over 50 new locations of flagship brands, including The Chart House, Bubba Gump Shrimp Co., and Morton’s The Steakhouse, within the next 24 months. "We are seizing a unique window of opportunity to export American dining excellence globally," Fertitta stated. The announcement has already driven a 4.2 percent increase in Landry’s stock value in pre-market trading. Industry analysts note this move follows Fertitta’s recent $4.1 billion acquisition of a controlling stake in a major European hospitality group. The first new flagship location is expected to break ground in London’s West End in Q3 of this year, with additional sites planned for Tokyo and Dubai.
