March 26, 2014

Franchisee Haidar Al-Naqeeb has opened the newest Johnny Rockets in Kuwait's Divonne Restaurant Complex.

According to a news release, Al-Naqeeb plans to further expand the brand in the Arabian Gulf region. He first introduced Johnny Rockets to the Middle East in December of 1995 with the opening of a restaurant at Salem Al-Mabarak in Salmiyah, Kuwait. There are now more than a dozen franchises in Kuwait, as well as Saudi Arabia, Qatar and Bahrain, with additional openings planned for the immediate future, the release said.

Divonne is the eighth Johnny Rockets to open in Kuwait and the third to open in the capital of Kuwait City.

"With a keen eye and perceptive outlook of what guests are seeking in a restaurant experience, Haidar has successfully brought a multitude of Johnny Rockets franchises to the Middle East," said John Fuller, CEO of Johnny Rockets. "The consistent quality of his restaurants is a testament to the passion that Haidar brings to his ownership role and will continue to offer guests of this new location."
