Birth Of Hard Rock Cafe


Hard Rock Cafe is a chain of
Theme Restaurants founded in 1971
by Americans Peter Morton & Isaac Tigrett. The first location opened near Hyde Park Corner in London, England. In 1979, the cafe began covering its walls with rock 'n' roll ephemera, a tradition which expanded to others in the chain. In 2006, Hard Rock was sold to the Seminole Tribe of Florida. Currently, there are 140 Hard Rock locations in over 40 countries.Contents[hide]1 History1.1 Restaurants1.2 Expansion into other businesses1.2.1 Casinos and hotels1.2.2 Hard Rock Park - Theme Park2 Seminole Tribe of Florida takeover3 Music memorabilia3.1 Gallery4 References5 External links
