On 22 December, the Boston, Massachusetts, U.S.A.-based company announced it is selling its 27 restaurants to PPX Hospitality Brands, which also operate the Smith & Wollensky and The Strega Group restaurant chain.
Berkowitz, however, will retain exclusive ownership rights of the Legal Sea Foods name in retail, e-commerce, and other non-restaurant channels – all areas that Legal already has a presence but will now expand significantly.
