What do Acapulco, Bahrain and Kuala Lumpur have that Salt Lake City doesn't? A Hard Rock Cafe.
But not for long. Trolley Square has confirmed rumors circulating for months that the world-famous restaurant chain will open this summer in the 12,115 square feet of space on the shopping center's south side formerly occupied by Green Street Social Club.In turn, Green Street is now renovating space on the west end of the square's middle building that was formerly Cafe Central and is expected to open late next month in the new and larger location.
Nabbing the ultra-hip Hard Rock Cafe was quite a coup for Trolley Square, says Jeanie Van Amen, marketing director for the city's "festival marketplace." Many believe that a city hasn't "arrived" until Hard Rock comes to town.
