London to get Jackson Five café?

Michael Jackson may fighting a legal battle to stay out of prison, but his brother Jermaine was in London last week scouting for a site for a new Jackson-themed restaurant in the capital.

Jackson, through agent Davis Coffer Lyons, is looking for a central London site to establish a Planet Hollywood-style café/restaurant, with the area around Leicester Square a prime target.

DCL director David Abramson said it was very early days, but Jackson was keen establish the restaurant as part of general Jackson Five comeback.

There are no details as yet on the size of the investment, or exactly what sort of café/restaurant it will be.
