Seminoles Buy the Hard Rock Cafe
>
The Seminoles have just bought out the Hard Rock Cafe and Casino chain in what is believed to be the first leveraged buyout led by an Indian tribe.
It is unknown if they will make a Michael Eisner-like grab for "synergy" between various brands.
Like, giving away coupons for the Hard Rock Cafe at all Florida State Seminole football games in Tallahassee.
Next on the buyout list....the Blackfoot tribe in Idaho leads a leverage buyout of J.R. Simplot's potato empire and therewith, becomes the nation's largest provider of Freedom Fries.
Gordon Gekko would be proud.
