Room 39 Becomes A Suite Of Rooms

Van Osdol & Magruder, P.C. strives to enable local entrepreneurs to realize their full potentials, and the recent closing of local chef Ted Habiger’s buyout on his longtime partner Room 39 is another recent example of that commitment. Habiger said, “I thought the team at Van Osdol led by David Kim did a great job of handling the Room 39 transaction. They not only demonstrated proficient legal skills but also managed the deal in a way that preserved my personal relationships with my former partners. Although our vision for the Room 39 restaurant concept diverged, Andrew Sloan and I began this journey together as friends and I feel fortunate that that remains the case today.”It’s been quite a year for Habiger! In February, he was named a semi-finalist for the 2014 James Beard Foundation Award in the Best Chef: Midwest category. Habiger was also nominated for this award in both 2008 and 2012. He will now control operations and the menu at both the original Room 39 location on 39th Street and at Mission Farms.A suite of rooms indeed! Also a sweet deal for our client!
