He also owns several restaurants (the “Fat Renaux Burger” chain) in London, a Football Team (the “Kingston upon Thames Angels”), has launched his own brand of Vodka (Pure Wonderenaux - UK), and is tackling the juniors market with a top-selling perfume (With Love from Archie) and a fashion line called “Archie Renaux Seduction”.
