On the other hand there are many "Renegade" HRC which do not belong to the Rank Group or HRC International. Nevertheless they use the same logo. Most of them have been opened before the Rank Group took over the label. The HRC Frankfurt for instance was the second HRC after London when it opened in february 1978. Like many other HRC in the world it does not belong to the official chain. By now I have visited two of these HRC. I think that even if they do have a certain attractivity, they are just not the same. Except for the logo and some of the merchandise items they have nothing in common with the "real" HRC. Look at the photographs and form your own opinion.
