Britney pulls out of restaurant business
Singer Britney Spears is out of the restaurant business.
The star has pulled out of Nyla, the midtown Manhattan eaterie which she opened just five months ago.
Britney, who turns 21 on Monday, said in a statement that she has âterminated her relationshipâ with the restaurant she formed a partnership with in March because of mismanagement and âmanagementâs failure to keep her fully appraisedâ.
The restaurant at the Dylan Hotel, which she named for New York and her home state of Louisiana, served Southern-inspired cuisine.
But it was plagued by lousy reviews and slow business and the management recently changed the menu to American food with an Italian flair.
Spears said in the statement this week: âI wish the restaurant and its current ownership continued success.â
She added that she had no involvement in Nylaâs day-to-day affairs, and never earned any money or other benefits from the restaurant.
