The Hard Rock Café in Nice went bankrupt.
Tuesday morning, however, on the Promenade des Anglais, the red flags of the “dinner” fluttered gently in the wind. Inside, the tables were folded and put away. An employee was busy behind the cash register. Everything seemed in order.
But on the door, a poster announced in French and English: “The Hard Rock Café Nice will not be open today. We apologize for the inconvenience.”
On the phone, the answering machine was clear: no burgers, no parties, no more rock’n’roll.
Cessation of activity and layoff plan
According to information from France 3 Côte d’Azurthe Nice brand of the “diner” chain founded in 1971 in London and which today has more than 150 restaurants around the world, closed Friday. Without warning and without explanation.
Is this the end of this establishment which was inaugurated in 2013 in the presence of the mayor, Christian Estrosi, the Nice singer Medhi and the first waitress of the very first Hard Rock Café in history, Rita Gilligan?
In 2019, according to infogreffe, the Prom’ bar suffered a loss of 749,000 euros. Have these financial difficulties got the better of the Hard Rock Café in Nice?
Impossible to have the slightest official information and even less to contact Stefano Pandin, the manager of the Hard Rock Café France company, which also manages the Montmartre establishment in Paris.
But the Nice “diner” has indeed gone bankrupt. “The services of the prefecture (the DDETS) were notified of a total and definitive cessation of activity for economic reasons“announced, Tuesday evening, the communication from the prefect of the Alpes-Maritimes, Bernard Gonzalez.
“What a plan of collective licensing of forty-four employees and seven seasonal workers is currently negotiating with staff representatives to propose reclassifications, support measures and compensation.”
“Notifications of the first layoffs will not come before October 10. This will be followed by notices and reclassification leave. The closure date is not yet known. A reclassification firm has been appointed to help the employees in their projects.
