WELCOME TO HIS SPORTS BAR, LET'S HOPE HE WON'T SCARE YOU

11.20.1997

          Rock star ALICE COOPER's new sports bar, called "Alice
     Cooper'stown," will open in downtown Phoenix this week,
     according to Martha Netherton of the PHOENIX BUSINESS
     JOURNAL.  Cooper: "It will be the Taj Mahal of sports bars." 
     The restaurant's theme will feature baseball and other
     professional sports, and if successful, the concept will
     spread to other major league cities.  Cooper is teaming with
     AZ entrepreneur Brian Weymouth on the project.  If the
     sports bar concept is "successful," the partners would like
     to "spread to other" MLB cities such as Cleveland, Seattle,
     Denver and Detroit.  Weymouth said that it's likely another
     deal will be inked in Cleveland or Detroit "by next spring"
     (Martha Netherton, PHOENIX BUSINESS JOURNAL, 11/17 issue).
