Kenny’s Key West Puts Limousine Contract Into Review

It’s been one of the city’s most well-known advertising slogans for the last few decades—the famous phrase at the end of every radio commercial for Fat City nightspot Kenny’s Key West.

“Limos by A Confidential.”

But now no more.

Kenny’s Key West, LLC (NYSE: KKW) announced that it has placed its estimated $5,000 limousine account into review, touching off what will no doubt become a feverish competition to win the business of the city’s most lucrative nightclub transportation contract.

Industry rumors are swirling as to what brought on the review.

Multiple shooting incidents in the club’s parking lot over the past few months resulted in weeks of bad press, with even Sheriff Harry Lee calling the club “a hellhole.”

In a statement, the nightclub’s owner Kenneth Vincent sought to play down speculation that the recent spate of violence had brought on the shift.

“We’ve had a tremendous 20-year relationship with A Confidential,” Vincent said.

“But after careful deliberation, we’ve decided to take our limousine work in a different direction.”

A rep for A Confidential Limousine declined to comment.
