Kanye West Burger Restaurant Closed

A burger restaurant in Chicago owned by Kanye West has closed.

The flagship branch of Fatburger in Orland Park was opened in 2008 by KW Foods, LLC, a company started by the rapper.

But due to financial reasons, the store has closed.

"It's unfortunate, but we hope to have a presence in Orland Park again in the future,” James Newell, Fatburger's director of operations, told WGN.

West's other Fatburger brand in the Beverly neighbourhood remains open.

Meanwhile, the rapper has revealed that he plans to release a new studio album this summer, preceded by his joint LP 'Watch The Throne' with Jay-Z.
