The Irvine Company provides visitors with the opportunity to explore more than 57,000 acres of open space and parklands in Orange County. The Irvine Company traces its roots to the 1860s with the formation of The Irvine Ranch from Mexican and Spanish land grants. In 1897, the Irvine Company made its first gift of land to the public, several hundred oak- and sycamorefilled acres that today form Irvine Regional Park. This set into motion a remarkable history of philanthropy and stewardship on The Irvine Ranch that continues to this day. In 2014, Irvine Company Chairman Donald Bren presented another gift of 2,500 acres in North Orange County that has created one of the nation’s largest urban open space networks. The company’s efforts have resulted in the permanent preservation of 57,000 acres or nearly 60 percent of the entire 93,000-acre Irvine Ranch. Visitors can enjoy a myriad of great Southern California scenic spaces and outdoor activities, including hiking, bird watching, boating and more, at Crystal Cove State Park, Los Trancos and El Moro canyons, the Westbay habitat at Upper Newport Bay Ecological Reserve and the Mountains to Sea Trail, which travels from Weir Canyon all the way to Upper Newport Bay.

Hard Rock collectible and fashion merchandise has become the authoritative memento of the rock experience enjoyed at each unique Hard Rock location. Although the first Hard Rock Cafe opened in June 1971 in London, the first official Hard Rock merchandise store didn’t open until 1988 in New York City. Over the years, T-shirts with the Hard Rock logo had been created and given out to special friends, but the idea to turn them into retail items came after an enterprising coat-check girl at Hard Rock Cafe in New York suggested selling them. Souvenir-hungry guests snapped up the shirts, and soon people all over the world were bearing items emblazoned with the iconic Hard Rock logo. “Through the years, Hard Rock has worked with world-renowned musicians and bands like Imagine Dragons, Rihanna, U2 and, most recently, partnered with the Bob Marley family to create imaginative designs for important philanthropic programs, supporting Hard Rock’s brand promise to ‘Love All—Serve All,’” said Vickie Kunkle, Senior Vice President, Merchandise at Hard Rock International. “These original designs are created into iconic Tshirts and pins, sold at Hard Rock properties worldwide with a portion of the retail price benefitting the artist’s preferred charity.” Collectible merchandise includes authentic items, such as T-shirts, sweatshirts, pins, leather jackets, key chains, watches, baseball caps, shot glasses and more. Hard Rock’s classic and city T-shirts are the most popular-selling items and account for a majority of merchandise revenues. City-specific Hard Rock Lake Tahoe’s pin is decorated with a windsurfer girl, while New York City’s pin features the head of the Statue of Liberty on a guitar). Hard Rock Cafe servers also showcase a collection of pins daily on their uniforms, paying homage to the collectability and incredible appeal of Hard Rock’s merchandise. There is even an official Hard Rock Cafe Pin Collector’s Club that swaps and trades collections at HardRock.com. merchandise can only be purchased in that city. Hard Rock collectible pins are mega-sellers. Each pin features the Hard Rock logo and a distinctive icon, which reflects the spirit of the Hard Rock Cafe city (i.e., Hard Rock International also offers exclusive Hard Rock merchandise at hardrock.com. Items, such as pin display cases for Hard Rock’s pins, are only offered online—adding an increased value and desirability for collectors throughout the world.
