If it's cheap enough, maybe we can licence it for our home bars!

Good idea! I don't think they're desperate. I wonder what their strategy is? They're missing out on opportunities in the US and are favoring overseas restaurants. It's possible they're very happy with the way things are going, and they get to travel globally to see their franchises in operation. They may have the opportunity to just relax and not worry about the US market when overseas markets are performing so well.

Is Trader Vic's privately owned? It sure seems like it.

Maybe they're worried about the recently developed "cultural appropriation" stigma here in the USA, which as far I know, isn't an issue overseas.
