The 66-year-old wants it to be the start of a franchise, and making an unusual comparison he told the Evening Post: "It will be a bit like McDonalds, but we encourage vegetarianism."
Mr Shadee, who divides his time between homes in France and London, calls himself a practising occultist.

He says his centre will offer services including ritual work, witchcraft and exorcisms.
He would not reveal the exact location of the centre, but says he has found a site in Park Row which will be good because of its proximity to the university's buildings. He said: "Hopefully the Bristol centre will bud the seed of franchised occult centres across the country."
Mr Shadee, who has previously tried to open a centre in Cambridge and also tried to stand to become the city's next MP, said that his centre would be different to pagan centres because it would be "much more heavily involved".
He said: "We don't preach, we prove. For instance, if sceptics out there wanted to see a materialisation – a ghost – we would go and show them that.
"It is all about channelling nature's energy. We believe in life after death, that the body dies but the soul and mind continue."
He has chosen Bristol because of the universities and because it is a "prime area" and a "junction spot" in the UK.
"There are lots of free-thinkers in Bristol who I think are open to what we are saying," he said.
He said too many people think witchcraft has bad connotations.
"Witchcraft is only a word," he said. "There is nothing wrong with witchcraft.
"Every single religion that is practised is a form of witchcraft."

Absolute poppycock. No-one has ever been able to prove anything supernatural, let alone make ghosts appear. Mainly because none of it is true.”

“I don't think that's quite fair, Commenter. I'm an atheist myself, but I can appreciate why other people think that there's more to existence than this. Even though I think they're wrong, there is such a thing as being respectably mistaken, rather than deluded.”

No, every single religion (including occultism) is a form of delusion.”

“Nearly every religious symbol or significant holiday has been transferred from era to era and whatever religious ruling force was in power. From worshipping the sun to an invisible deity, they have all been fairly interchangable for milenia.”

“@nogbutt
Nope, she isn't. The Easter Bunny and painted eggs are from ancient Babylonia to celebrate the the resurrection of their god, Tammuz, who was brought back from the underworld by his mother/wife, Ishtar.
Modern (as in post Pagan/early Christian) egg painting appears to come from Eastern Europe where at the start of Lent all dairy prduce was used up before the fast but, as the hens wouldn't conveniently stop laying, they painted the eggs to show when they were laid and this became a tradition that grew into intricate designs with their own significance applied.
If we're going to go down the line of compare and contrast we may as well go all the way.
Which 'God' was born at Midwinter to a Virgin, called "the good shepherd, "the way, the truth and the light, redeemer, savior, Messiah?
Jesus?
Wrong
it was Mithras.
