OSI seeks buyers for Roy's, Cheeseburger in Paradise

OSI Restaurant Partners, the Tampa-based owner of the Outback Steakhouse chain, which sold most of its stake in the Lee Roy Selmon's barbecue chain last year, is looking to sell two more brands: Cheeseburger in Paradise, and Roy's. "Our growth priorities in the future will be focused on our larger concepts: Outback & Carrabba's Italian Grill, Bonefish Grill and Fleming's," general counsel Joe Kadow said via e-mail Wednesday. "We are evaluating strategies for ultimately exiting the smaller concepts" but are "under no set timetable," he said.
