An employment injection is coming to residents of Rustenburg
through the addition of a Hard Rock Café at Sun City.
The popular exclusive brand is adding the North West to its choice
of locations. The Sun City branch will be an addition to the Johannesburg,
Pretoria and Cape Town branches.
Restaurateur Tyrone Harding said expanding Hard Rock Café was
inevitable.
“It’s a global brand that started in London and they have one
store per location in a city. So Sun City being such an iconic landmark in South
Africa and with the great interest in tourism, that was one of the drivers to
bring Hard Rock there.”
On Tuesday and Wednesday, Hard Rock Café will host a job
fair for locals.

“We are looking to drive the North West province, with a
footprint of creating jobs. We are looking for new people outside of the Sun
City system and we look for the skill of working in a food and beverage space.”
Tyrone said every café had its own flavour and would bring
in people internationally to train the new staff intake.
“In terms of our memorabilia that is showcased on our walls,
the footprint of the location, the position and demand of location, we tailor
it to meet the requirements. We will be launching a new menu at Sun City. There’s
a lot of excitement around the orientation and training time of the business. ”
Harding said the current locations were already big
landmarks.
“Every landmark has its own uniqueness and is driven by the
tourist market. It’s a huge driver for
the tourist market to say they have been to the different locations of the café’s
around the country.”
The new café will open next month.
