Kanye West To Open Restaurant Chain

by REIGN

WEDNESDAY AUGUST 13, 2008

 

The outspoken and never shy rapper, Kanye West, will be opening up a Fatburger in Orland Park, which is located on the southwest suburban area of Chicago, next month. According to a spokesperson of Fatburger Corp., Kanye West's KW Foods LLC, has the rights to develop 10 Fatburgers in the Chicago area and plans to open another one in January at 95th and Western Avenue in the Beverly neighborhood.

Fatburger, which primarily calls California home, is a popular fast-food chain. This will be the first restaurant in Chicago.

In other Kanye news, he is expected to produce the majority of Jay-Z's new album , Blueprint 3, alongside producer/friend, No I.D.

anyone can open a Fatburger. I went to one the other day out by the airport (LAX) and it was being run by Koreans. He just paid Fatburger like $250,000 x however many stores he wants to open and there... now he's a developer. Not that difficult to do.. but props to him for picking a decent burger place.. Fatburger is probably top 3 out of all fast food chains out here in Los Angeles

@ MurKiN SeaSoN...
you say pink and just about everything Kanye does is gay...
if thats so...
what about when a male finds one of the worst rappers out to date...glorifies him....and battles over him with another male like pre-teenage girls...all while hating on every person thats doing better than him?

i think that completly out ways the tight pants and pink clothes on the gay-scale my friend

This does absolutely nothing for Chicagoans..What brings jobs and money to the hood is re-zoning...No one is going to make a decent living working here, but if the city tore down some of its over-passes, where most hoods in America are located, banks, hotels and other big businesses can move in. Now baby sis has a job at the bank, momma is checking people in at the hotel and the son is parking the cars. Now the property value of the surrounding area has gone up. Better homes, better schools, better police, nicer living. Some gentrification might go down where the white establishment tries to buy out all the black and brown owned homes, but in a City like Chicago, the black establishment there would make sure everyone got an equal cut if they decided to sell their property.

So sometimes the rappers and celebrities are just shitting on us with another fast food joint. Get into hotels and banking..Clubs and privately owned restaurants are just for themselves.

well its good that hes actually not blowing all his money like most rappers and opening up a business that will surely be booming and around for a long time. rappers need to wise up, once you get that big ass amount of money in your pocket dont go blow it on a car,mansion,jewelry,nightlife, and women.

put some of that shit in a swiss bank account, use a different chunk to open a business, use some to accomodate your lifestlye, and then save the rest.

its funny how some up and coming rappers, supposedly get million dollar deals, and dont got nothing to show for it except for chain that aint paid for all the way, a car thats about to be repoed, and big ass child support amounts every month.

shit im not no rapper, but if i somehow get signed a get a million in my pocket. im not gon go all out, i mean i might buy a rover, a house, and thats it, save the rest and invest it.

I like Kanye great producer and solid rapper but why the fuck would he open a fast food restaurant? They taste like shit and too many people are obese already. He should be opening up restaurants with real food that doesnt taste like garbage.
