Hard Rock Café says evicted from MovieTowne patio in rent row

The cleared patio

Hard Rock Café says it was  evicted yesterday afternoon from the MovieTowne patio by management of the mall.

“At approximately 16.00hrs, the Management of the Movie Towne Mall moved to evict the popular café from its patio for ‘unpaid rent’. Despite agreeing with the owners of Hard Rock Café to allow them to use the area rent-free. This move by the Mall’s management will severely threaten the operation of the restaurant that called the mall home for its inception”, Hard Rock said in a brief statement yesterday.
