ORLANDO, Fla., Sept. 9 (UPI) -- Ruth's Chris Steak House, a prominent U.S. restaurant chain, has moved its headquarters out of storm-ravaged New Orleans.
In what could be a harbinger of similar corporate moves, executives of the 88-restaurant company decided there were too many uncertainties about New Orleans' future to stay.

As a result, they have decided to relocate headquarters to Orlando, Fla., The New York Times reported Friday.
They chose the community after negotiating tax incentives from economic development officials in Seminole County. Today they are operating out of a fully furnished 21,000-square-foot corporate office and training center.
