Morton’s operates 77 steakhouses, seven of which are in South Florida, with locations in Boca Raton, Carol Gables, Fort Lauderdale, Miami, Miami Beach, North Miami Beach and Palm Beach. The company said it has the support of its two largest shareholders, Castle Harlan and Laurel Crown Partners, to explore a possible sale. [SFBJ]
