Description
Hard Rock Café, a US-based global restaurant chain, will create 110 jobs in Brussels. This is due to the opening of a new restaurant in Brussels after 14 years of absence in the city. The operating Group Seminol Hard Rock Entertainment decided to locate it on the ‘Grand-Place' of Brussels, a location that traditionally hosts restaurants of high quality. Recruitment has already begun.
With the new Belgian opening, the group will open its 174th establishments spread across 53 nations.
