Johnny Rockets is adding locations in Brazil and Chile, according to the brand's parent company, FAT Brands Inc., which also owns Fatburger and seven other restaurant concepts.

"With these latest new openings in Brazil and Chile, we continue to build upon our footprint in South America," Andy Wiederhorn, CEO of FAT Brands, said in the release. "Our other new locations in these countries have been met with outsized demand, which makes this an ideal time to make our irresistible food available to more local consumers in these markets."

Founded in 1986 on Melrose Avenue in Los Angeles, Johnny Rockets has over 325 franchise and corporate locations in over 26 countries.
