Opinion
Starr: Ideal STARR Restaurants exit would be an acquisition by LVMH
“The perfect exit is to be acquired by a company that has some sort of a synergy and relationship to what you do. My fantasy, you know, we run the Louis Vuitton restaurant in New York City. Would be that LVMH come in and acquire star restaurants or part of us.”
