Robert Johnson, founder and chairman of the RLJ Companies and founder of Black Entertainment Television, this week announces a joint venture with the Boston-based restaurant group Legal Sea Foods to open smaller-scale versions of the famed restaurant within airports across the country.
“I am very excited about the RLJ Companies joining with Legal Sea Foods and its CEO and president, Roger Berkowitz, to expand the Legal Sea Foods dining experience to millions more airport travelers,” says Johnson. “Roger’s family founded Legal Sea Foods, whose roots in the food business go back almost 100 years and has established an exceptional reputation and loyal following for its unparalleled quality.”
Legal Sea Foods has successful airport restaurants already in place at Logan International Airport (BOS), Philadelphia International Airport (PHL) and Reagan National Airport (DCA). The new joint venture will lead to a marked increase in Legal Sea Foods locations in airports across the country.
“Our venture will enable us to bring the freshest, highest quality food from the sea to those traveling by air,” says Roger Berkowitz, Legal Sea Foods president and CEO.
