Planet Hollywood Singapore Collectible Mousepad

I got this Planet Hollywood mousepad at a special movie event organised by Planet Hollywood and a local publication. I don't remember which movie was screened, but the screening room was nicely decorated, spacious with comfortable couches and bean bags.

Planet Hollywood Baseball Caps (New York and Paris)

I got these 2 Planet Hollywood baseball caps (New York and Paris) from the Planet Hollywood outlet in Singapore. I remember thinking then it was a bit strange to find these merchandise, emblazoned with other Planet Hollywood locations here in the local store. The reason is that Planet Hollywood operates like the Hard Rock Cafe franchise, that is, they will only sell merchandise meant for that particular city or country. Another thing to note, these caps were sold at a huge discount close to 50 percent of the normal retail price, so I grabbed them without hesitation. Later I found out about the imminent closure of many Planet Hollywood outlets worldwide, including the one in Singapore, so I guess that is the reason for the cheap bargain.

Planet Hollywood Singapore Collectible Pin

All that is left for me to remember the Planet Hollywood outlet in Singapore are the items I managed to purchase from the souvenir store before it closed down, like this collectible metal pin exclusive to Singapore.  I used to have a nice Planet Hollywood Singapore t-shirt but unfortunately it has already left for the recycling plant a few years ago.

Planet Hollywood Tokyo Keychain

Collectible Planet Hollywood keychain from Tokyo. What a pity the business was not sustainable and all the stores had to close. It was such a good concept to have a movie themed restaurant and have movie celebrities regularly turning up for promotions and special events. I guess there were too many celebrity shareholders, who were bound to have disagreements on the running of the cafes....

I frequented the Singapore outlet of the Planet Hollywood franchise a number of times and it felt special dining in the environment surrounded by movie memorabilia. And I miss their fabulous buffalo wings so much. Those were really the good times!
