FAT (Fresh. Authentic. Tasty.) Brands Inc., parent company of
Johnny Rockets and 17 other restaurant concepts, announces nine
openings for Johnny Rockets. The most recent new opening, in
Baghdad, marks the first Iraqi location, and is operated by Alanwar

Since February, Johnny Rockets has also opened
international locations in the following cities: Fortaleza, Brazil,
Cumbica International Airport in Sao Paulo, Brazil, Santiago,
Chile, Lima, Peru, Dubai, United Arab Emirates, Abu Dhabi, United
Arab Emirates, Talca, Chile, and one ghost kitchen in the United
Arab Emirates. Johnny Rockets around the world serve the classic
fare that put the brand on the map over 35 years ago, including
juicy, made-to-order burgers and hand-spun shakes.
“Johnny Rockets is a timeless concept that we
are proud to see succeed across many borders and formats,” said
Jake Berchtold, COO of FAT Brands’ Fast Casual
Division. “We look forward to continued growth in Iraq, where we
see the opportunity to capitalize on an impressive customer
base.”
The first Johnny Rockets restaurant opened June
6, 1986, on Melrose Avenue in Los Angeles. Since that time, the
chain’s timeless all-American brand has connected with customers
across the U.S. and in more than 25 other countries around the
globe. The Johnny Rockets team’s passion for delivering fresh,
classic American fare is only equaled by their commitment to
providing a superb guest experience.

the Alyarmouk neighborhood at The Four Streets, Allay 616, Ste. 17
Bldg. 105 Baghdad, Iraq and is open 12 p.m. to 12 a.m. seven days a
