Founded in the 1950s by brothers Stuart and Clifford Perlman, Lums became a beloved dining spot in South Florida, known for its beer-steamed hot dogs and casual atmosphere. The restaurant chain expanded to 450 locations, becoming a staple in Miami, South Beach, and Broward County. The Perlmans not only transformed their hot dog stand into a major franchise but also ventured into meat distribution and gaming, purchasing Caesars Palace in 1969, thus tackling diverse industries and showcasing their entrepreneurial prowess.
"I just bought a hundred shares of stock in this company, and I’d like to know something about the management," the customer asked, unaware that Stuart Perlman was behind the counter."
"The Perlman brothers later expanded their holdings to include Gold Seal Meats and Eagle Army surplus stores, showcasing their entrepreneurial spirit beyond the restaurant business."
