Johnny Rockets
Hamburgers, shakes, and malts
Hep cats still hang out at Johnny Rockets restaurants, where U-shaped counters, padded booths, table-top jukeboxes, and white uniforms salute the classic American diner. The Johnny Rockets Group operates and franchises its retro restaurants in over 30 states across the U.S. and a dozen other countries that specialize in such classic diner fare as hamburgers, malts, fries, and apple pie. The majority of the locations are operated by franchisees. The chain was founded by Ronn Teitelbaum, who opened the first Johnny Rockets on Los Angeles' fashionable Melrose Avenue in 1986. The company was acquired by RedZone Capital, an investment fund led by Washington Redskins owner Dan Snyder, in 2007.
