This brown stock certificate from Lum's Inc., issued in 1971, features cancellation holes, stamps, and handwritten annotations, indicating its authenticity and historical use.
Lum's Inc. was an American restaurant chain founded in 1956 by Stuart and Clifford S. Perlman in Miami Beach, Florida. The chain became famous for its unique menu item, hot dogs steamed in beer, and quickly expanded during the 1960s and 1970s. At its peak, Lum's operated over 400 restaurants across the United States.
In 1969, Lum's Inc. made a significant acquisition by purchasing Caesar's Palace, a renowned hotel and casino in Las Vegas, Nevada, which diversified its business operations. However, the company faced financial difficulties and changes in ownership over the years, leading to its eventual decline.
By the late 1970s, Lum's began to struggle with maintaining its business, and by the 1980s, the chain had significantly contracted. Despite its decline, Lum's remains a nostalgic brand for many who remember its distinctive dining experience and its impact on American fast food culture.
