Johnny Rockets
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Johnny Rockets is an American burger restaurant franchise whose motif is meant to recreate the American malt shops of the 1940s and 1950s. Its restaurants' decor include jukeboxes, chrome accents and red leather seats, and customers are waited on by waiters and waitresses dressed in attire of the period. The staff are also known to sing and dance, twirl straws and make smiley faces of ketchup. All orders are made-to-order. Menu items include hamburgers, shakes, sandwiches, malts and breakfast. It was founded on June 6, 1986 by Ronn Teitelbaum of Los Angeles, California.
