Hard Rock Cafe Shuts 10 Indian Outlets
17 Mar
Summary
- Ten Hard Rock Cafe outlets across India are closing.
- Agreements with operator JSM Corporation have been terminated.
- Goa's Hard Rock Hotel remains unaffected by the closures.
Hard Rock International has announced the closure of 10 of its Hard Rock Cafe outlets throughout India. This significant development comes after the formal termination of agreements with JSM Corporation Pvt. Ltd., the entity that managed the cafes and Rock Shops across the country. The affected locations span several major cities, including Bengaluru, Chennai, Hyderabad, Kolkata, New Delhi, and Pune. This marks the end of an era for the iconic restaurant chain, which first opened its doors in Bengaluru in 2007, nearly two decades ago.
While the Hard Rock Cafe outlets are ceasing operations, Hard Rock International has clarified that its Hard Rock Hotel in Goa is not impacted by these closures and will continue to function as usual. The brand emphasized that India remains an important market and expressed gratitude to its patrons for their years of support. Despite the closures, social media channels for some cafes remain active, and management at some locations indicated they had not yet received formal communication regarding the shutdown.
