Legacy Entertainment, specialists in themed entertainment and design, is launching a series of ‘food-focused’ projects, which are being developed for Saudi Arabia, Indonesia and China.

The projects are designed to act as a driver in attracting visitors to sites in coming years. Legacy currently has three ‘destination dining’ experiences in development. One project is being developed near Jakarta, Indonesia, and is due to be launched this summer. Additional projects are taking place in China and Saudi Arabia.

The dining destinations will feature diverse entertainment, including immersive environments, live entertainment, and, in certain venues, amusement rides that have been carefully integrated.

Barry Kemper, chief operating officer and co-owner of Legacy Entertainment, said: “While shopping habits may evolve and change, the desire to dine together is intrinsic to the human experience. It’s here to stay, and we’ve only begun to scratch the surface on how fare we can take it.

“Of course, this is not to say dining will replace retail, but we do anticipate that the anchor tenants of the 21st century will put a priority on dining and entertainment,” Kemper added.
