Valley Forge Casino Resort is betting that opening a steakhouse and cigar lounge with the help of a Philadelphia sports icon will be a boon for business.
Sixers legend Charles Barkley is taking an “active role” in shaping the new establishments as part of a partnership with the King of Prussia casino, Boyd Gaming, the casino’s parent company, said Tuesday.
“The Philadelphia area has always felt like home to me and I’m thrilled to bring something new to a community that’s played such a big part in my life,” Barkley said in a statement. “We’re creating a spot that’s fun, comfortable and full of personality. I want it to be the kind of place where people can unwind, share a great meal and feel that same energy and connection that makes that community so special.”
