I've noticed that Edinburgh is the only Scottish city with a Hard Rock Cafe ( i could be wrong) but i'm wondering why Glasgow doesn't have one i think it would look good to have a HRC in Argyle Street or The Merchant City

Don't you think there are enough rip off joints in Glasgow and peddlars of over priced beer in Glasgow already?

Really? I would be delighted to see those kind of places getting the boot.

Trouble is, they're a hard rock to crack.

Aye, I suppose you're between a rock and a hard place with one of those franchises.
I think we've exhausted this.

Welcome to HG Darren ! I do think you have a point most cities in the world have an HRC, I think Glasgow could really benefit from one. As much as I agree with Ony's statement that their are enough rip off joints in Glasgow, there is benefits' especially if you locate it in the Merchant City. The HRC could act as a big magnet removing all the American tourists from all the other restaurants therefore freeing up a table for myself !
However on a real note HRC's do actually do quite well for a cities brand awareness especially with their line of T-Shirts which can be seen all over the world I think Glasgow is fully deserving of being on that map.

As I recall, there was a plan to have one about 10-15 years ago when the proposed Warner multiplex was mooted for the car parks at the back of the St Enoch Centre, a plan which never came to anything.
I think I've still got the Evening Times article in my personal sad bastard archive of cinema shit, I'll have a look.
*EDIT* - although that may have been a Planet Hollywood, my memory ain't what it was....

I misread the title there. I thought a new gay club was opening.

Around 1983. (A little bit political! True though.)
