I'd be curious to know which of those 3rd party locations aren't as popular & could be replaced by something Universal owned in the near future

Or just a longer lifespan at least

Is VooDoo licensed but run by Universal? Same with CowFish maybe?

I thought Pat O'Brians was run by Universal, with it's employees on Universal payroll.

Not sure about Voodoo, but I heard operations were taken over by Universal at Cowfish.

No clue about Pat O'Brian's, considering they only have one other restaurant outside of New Orleans, it would make sense.

My question is what's the deal with Bob Marley's? Who owns it?

I always thought Bob Marley's was Universal owned as well.

At this point I think Universal could or would close down anything they wanted assuming they have a contract that they can break. Who knows how they write those contracts, but I'd guess they all have terms for breaking them on the part of Universal or the contractor.

Bob Marley, Pat O’s are universal owned and operated. Both designed by Universal Creative during their night club era along with Latin Quarter, CityJazz etc

Sorry for double post..

From what I understand, majority of these are franchised locations that were purchased by Universal - Universal pays the companies a franchise fee and owns/operates them. Margaritaville for sure, cowfish, voodoo, Starbucks, Pat O’s. Bob Marley’s is an original concept by Universal

I’m not sure if the food court is franchised by universal. I’d hope not, considering how poorly it is

A..... Star Wars kiosk....?

I assume they're getting updated security scanners like what you'd find at SeaWorld and Walt Disney World.

Save the Clock Tower photo-op tidal wave!

All this lease talk has me wondering what eateries will get locations at Epic (besides Starbucks)

I've been curious about this too. With Celestial Park basically acting as a Citywalk of sorts, I'm curious to see if we'll see any franchised locations.

I hope not, but we'll see!

So far, only two Starbucks in Celestial Park.
