Landry’s Restaurants, Inc. (NYSE: LNY – News), one of the nation’s largest casual dining and entertainment companies, announced that nineteen restaurants in Florida, including the two Rainforest Cafe Disneyworld locations, closed October 24 and 25 as a result of Hurricane Wilma. Nine restaurants, primarily high volume waterfront units, remain closed as of Thursday, October 27 with no determinable reopening date due to the current power outages and several restaurants are operating with reduced hours due to local curfews. The Company also has three restaurants that remain closed due to Hurricane Katrina and remains unable to determine reopening dates. The Company estimates approximately $1.5 million - $2.0 million in fourth quarter lost revenues for closed stores through October 26 only, and is unable to estimate the aggregate fourth quarter lost revenues at this time.
