LOS ANGELES, Nov. 19, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- FAT (Fresh. Authentic. Tasty.) Brands Inc., parent company of Johnny Rockets and 17 other restaurant concepts, announces a new location at the Soaring Eagle Casino & Resort located in Mount Pleasant, MI.

Located in a brand-new space in the heart of the casino, Johnny Rockets will serve the classic fare that put the brand on the map over 35 years ago, including juicy, made-to-order burgers, chicken sandwiches, hot dogs, crispy fries and onion rings, and hand-spun shakes and malts.

"Johnny Rockets continues to flourish in non-traditional spaces, in particular, casinos," said Jake Berchtold, COO of FAT Brands' Fast Casual Division. "From our classic menu offerings to our fun, upbeat dining environment—we continue to win over guests at our casino locations. Our newest Soaring Eagle location will be sure to deliver a one-of-a-kind experience that lives up to our motto of burgers, shakes, fries and fun."

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 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.
