Sam Nazarian

Founder and CEO, SBE

SBE Entertainment Group founder Sam Nazarian is forging ahead with his ghost kitchens venture. Nazarian, who sold his remaining stake in SBE’s hotel business to French hospitality company Accor in 2020, inked a lease for his virtual kitchens platform C3. The company is taking 10,000-square-foot space at 3015 Grand Avenue in Miami’s Coconut Grove. The office is expected to open in early 2022, according to a release. C3’s concepts include Krispy Rice, Sam’s Crispy Chicken and Umami Burger. Nazarian also paid $14 million for a waterfront mansion nearby in Coral Gables’ Gables Estates in December 2020.
