Page "Pub chain" Paragraph 6

; Atmosphere Bars and Clubs Ltd: The " Chicago Rock Cafe " and " Jumpin Jaks " night-club / pub brands were created by Luminar Leisure in 1989, and the Chicago Rock Cafe concept meant the Luminar group became the most successful leisure company of the early 1990s.

However, the group found the night-club / pub concept increasingly difficult to keep in profit, and in December 2006 created 3D Entertainment, in a £ 79m sale and leaseback deal in which it retained a 49 % share, to take over the night-club / pub brands, which were restructured into around 55 Chicago Rock Cafes with 15 other sites, including Jumpin Jaks and Mortimers pubs.

3D Entertainment couldn't make the brands successful, and the company went into administration in February 2010, with some of the Chicago Rock Cafe brands being taken over by Atmosphere Bars & Clubs, and other sites being bought by JD Wetherspoons.

There are 21 Chicago Rock Cafes in locations all over England and Wales.
