Sam Nazarian’s hospitality group SBE has acquired its largest Los Angeles night-life competitor, David Judaken’s Syndicate Hospitality.
The deal means Nazarian now has the largest portfolio of nightclubs on the West Coast. Added to a roster of clubs that already includes Industry and the Abbey are Hollywood’s MyStudio, MyHouse, Eden, and Crimson and Opera. SBE now has 25 venues in all, with a plan for 35 by the end of next year.
SBE announced separately that it would be opening an outlet of Papaya King, a popular 80-year-old New York hot dog chain in Hollywood. The location on Wilcox Avenue and Hollywood Boulevard will mark Papaya King’s first presence on the West Coast.
