We just happened to be at the new HRC at Narita City Japan the day before it opened. Seems like an odd place to have an HRC but as an afterthought, there sure was a lot of foreigners killing time in the city as they waited for there flight. Probably a very astute move on HRC's part.

I'm really disappointed :(

Especially since the whole chain sold for less than a billion dollar. While that is indeed a lot of money but Peter Morton, the original owner of HRC (before the Rank group) sold ONE Hard Rock Cafe in Vegas for $770 million.

The Seminole Tribe definitely got a great deal! :td:

On the contrary, after reading the people that also collect them, it just reiterates that notion ;)

Wow, you are indeed a collector. I have none. :o

My HRC T-shirt/shirt collection (includes now defunct locations):

Edmonton
Vancouver
Toronto Skydome
Houston
Las Vegas
Hollywood
Honolulu
San Diego
Washington, DC
New York
New Orleans
Kona
Cancun
Puerto Vallarta
Edinburgh
Berlin
Munich
Amsterdam
Madrid
Rome
London
Mykonos
Hong Kong
Tokyo
Kuala Lumpur
Sydney
Singapore
Cairo

My fave is a midnight blue Honolulu T with a fairly plain front but on the back a guitar surrounded with white flames and the "Pray For Surf" motto around the edge. ^

I see Bucharest is getting one in June, which is a few months before I arrive on my cheap NW tkt. ^ I'm also stopping for 8 hours in Houston, so will probably get into the Houston HRC and get another shirt rather than sit at the airport.

I'm sure you can dedicate an exclusive HRC wardrobe at home! :D

The funny thing is I haven't gone more than a few km's out of my way to get any of the HRC clothing as they've all been on my or my immediate family's holidays. And I'd rather have HRC than some generic touristy variety of T-shirt as a souvenir.
