Tex’s Home-Style Steakhouse Executive summary
This is an investment opportunity to be an owner of a new restaurant to be located in a new high-rise marketplace in a major metropolitan city. The marketplace will be a multi-use retail and entertainment center with over 200 retail shops. The restaurant would be developed and owned by a limited partnership, to be formed. The general partner would be a corporation owned by Brad Lee and Lydia Lopez, who are veteran operators of restaurants and nightclubs in the United States. The general partner would have the responsibility for all development and operations of the restaurant.
The investment opportunity is available in limited partnership units of $25,000 each. Limited partners would have no financial obligation beyond the initial investment in the property. Once adequate working capital reserves have been established, 75% of the distributable cash flow will be paid quarterly to the limited partners and 25% to the general partners. Upon return of their initial contributions, the limited partners will then receive 50% of the distributable cash flow, and the general partner will receive the remainder.
