Leading global brand, Hard Rock International, has appointed property consultant Cushman
& Wakefield as its retained property adviser across Europe.
Hard Rock International currently has 127 high-energy Hard Rock Cafes in 48 countries and is
looking to open a significant number of new outlets in Europe within the next three
years. Priority locations include Milan, Florence and Hamburg.

expansion and, in addition, will advise on relocation of existing Hard Rock Cafes in cities
including Paris, Amsterdam and Berlin.
Cushman & Wakefield will identify units of between 500 sq m and 2,000 sq m in prime
positions in high-profile and vibrant destinations. Different-sized units may also be

"Hard Rock International is one of the world’s best known brands, and we are delighted
to have secured this European mandate. We are looking forward to finding creative
solutions to satisfy Hard Rock’s requirements in the best locations available in its target
cities.”
