Rights to Claudia Sanders' trademark and likeness of the Claudia Sanders name would also go to the buyer, according to the listing agents.
"Claudia was the unspoken hero of her husband's success in business. And he wanted to honor her by creating Claudia Sanders Dinner House and associated brands," Klunk said in a press release. "There is so much rich history included in this sale; it is exciting to think about the potential that lies ahead for the right buyer — to honor and protect this legacy and grow the brand even further."
