Three Stooges to Open Restaurants

C3 Entertainment is teaming up with Legendary Burgers to develop The Three Stooges Burger House restaurants, blending the iconic Three Stooges brand with American comfort food.

"We expect potential initial locations to be announced shortly for this new and unique dining experience featuring a Three Stooges-themed design with patrons able to watch 'The Three Stooges' on state-of-the-art video screens that will be in every restaurant while enjoying their meal," says Ani Khachoian, executive vice president, licensing and consumer products, C3. "The Three Stooges Burger House restaurants will offer a relaxed and fun dining experience serving the finest quality food made with the freshest and finest ingredients, all made-to-order."

The casual dining restaurants will be offered as franchises by Legendary Burgers, and Khachoian said there is already significant interest throughout the U.S. and in several other countries from potential franchise holders.

The restaurants will also integrate next-generation ordering technology; customers will have the ability to place an order in person at the counter, at their table via touch screen tablets, online or via a phone app.

"The unique combination of the iconic The Three Stooges brand, delicious American cuisine and an incredibly efficient, tech-driven, innovative customer service experience will ensure our aggressive entry into the fast casual burger market is not only successful, but trendsetting within this industry," says Rose Rivera, vice president, Legendary Burgers.
