Lums (restaurant)

LUMS was a family restaurant chain in the United States. Although there are a few LUMS restaurants (like one in Davie, Florida) remaining in the U.S., they are not connected anymore as an official chain.

LUMS was founded by Stuart Pearlman [cite web | url = http://nl.newsbank.com/nl-search/we/Archives?p_product=SJ&s_site=mercurynews&p_multi=SJ&p_theme=realcities&p_action=search&p_maxdocs=200&p_topdoc=1&p_text_direct-0=0EB72D0E03A99F67&p_field_direct-0=document_id&p_perpage=10&p_sort=YMD_date:D&s_trackval=GooglePM | title = S.
