Hard Rock in Iceland next year?

An Icelandic investor has secured a temporary franchise to open a Hard Rock Café in Iceland.

Speaking to Icelandic newspaper Fréttablaðið, Birg­ir Bielt­vedt reveals that he has not yet taken a definitive decision on opening a Hard Rock Café in Iceland. If it does happen, however, a new Icelandic venue could open as early as next year.

“I am looking into it,” says Bielt­vedt. “I am taking a look at the market and possible venues and such, and working on a business plan. I shall make a decision in the next couple of months.”

Bieltvedt is one of the owners of Domino’s and Joe & the Juice in Iceland.

Iceland previously had a Hard Rock Café from 1987 to 2005.
