New Circus Tentpole

Circus Circus has announced the names of the tenants of its overhauled food court, and you won’t recognize any.

That’s because all the concepts are original. However, despite the unfamiliarity of their names and logos, it’s not too difficult to figure out what they will serve. SunnyStart’s logo is sunny side-up eggs, and that’s the most difficult one. The others are Anthony’s Deli & Sandwich Co., Parkway Burger, Miliana’s Italian Kitchen, Dragon 88 Bold Asian Flavor, Chixies Chicken Done Right, and Salt & Batter Fish & Chips.

This summer, the clown evicted all tenants from its Big Top Food Court (including Burger King, Popeyes Louisiana Kitchen, Einstein Bros. Bagels and Pick Up Stix) when its operator, Feel Good Brands, went bankrupt after falling more than $2 million behind in rent.

The new concepts were all created by Tony Ravelo, whose Ravelo Brands already operates Chicho’s Tacos at Circus Circus without ever apparently making excuses about the rent check being lost in the mail.
