Johnny Rockets plans to grow its footprint throughout North Carolina, with an immediate focus on Charlotte and Raleigh. The brand currently has one location in North Carolina at Harrah’s Cherokee Casino.
“North Carolina has always been a target state for expansion due to the need for more restaurants within its metropolitan areas,” CDO James Walker said in a news release. “In particular, Charlotte has become a booming destination for families to live, work and visit. With its various malls, shopping centers, arenas and amusement parks, Charlotte is an ideal city for Johnny Rockets due to its flexible footprints and appeal to all ages.”
The chain also plans to add more than 60 restaurants throughout the world this year, and 100 more by 2017.
