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.
