TampaBay.com is reporting that Hulk Hogan’s “Hogan’s Beach” establishment in Tampa, Florida will be re-branded and re-named, ending their affiliation with Hogan. They claimed that the restaurant is still open and serving customers under the Hogan name, however there is no solid timetable for the changes to happen.
Owner Ben Mallah, a real estate investor, said Hogan’s Beach and the Best Western-Bay Harbor-Tampa hotel it’s next to are being sold, however the sale is not officially done just yet. Even without the sale, Hogan’s Beach is going to be re-branded.
Mallah said the changes have nothing to do with the recent Hogan controversy. He also noted that Hogan licenses his name to the restaurant but has no ownership interest.
“We’ve had a two-and-a-half-year run with that brand,” said Mallah. “It’s time for a new brand. Everything changes.”
