Have you ever been to the Hard Rock Caf?
No, what is it?
It's a rock 'n' roll themed restaurant, but some locations are also hotels. It's a chain, so cities all over the world have them. There's one in San Francisco. I was thinking about checking it out. Would you like to join me?
Sure, that sounds fun.
The original caf was founded in London in 1971, but since 2007, the headquarters has been in Florida. It didn't start to expand worldwide until 1982, and the one in San Francisco opened in 1984.
Interesting. Actually, come to think of it, I think I passed by one when I was traveling in Istanbul, Turkey. Wow, I guess they really are all over the world!
Yes, it's a very international chain. I was reading about it, and apparently, there are 191 locations all over the world, in 59 different countries.
Wow! That's amazing.
Maybe we can go this weekend.
I'm working this weekend, but I get my schedule for the following week tomorrow. I should probably have a few days free next week.
