I just found out about this sacrilege.
My question is, why now? Wouldn't the 1990's or 2000's have been heyday with Austin Powers and whatnot?

Speakeasies are very trendy these days.  Just guessing that this goes along well with that theme.

The founder of the Safe House sold it to the Marcus Corp. before he died so Marcus plans to open Safe Houses everywhere.
