An American Classic Opens In Manhattan; Johnny Rockets Serves Up A Menu Of '40s Favorites

NEW YORK (Wednesday, April 21, 1999) - The quest for a truly great hamburger is over! On Thursday, April 29th, it's the official opening of Johnny Rockets -- home of the Original Hamburger -- in Manhattan! Located at the corner of 8th Street and Greene in the East Village, this opening marks Johnny Rockets' first foray into the Big Apple.
At Johnny Rockets, the key ingredients are simple food, snappy, happy service and the kind of fun that was a hit long before rock 'n roll was invented. Picture this: fresh, hand-formed hamburger patties sizzle on a shiny grill, hand-dipped ice cream shakes are blending in an old fashioned malt canister, and for a nickel the jukebox plays a Sinatra song as a chorus line of cooks croon along behind the counter.

Magically, Johnny Rockets captures a time when the corner malt shop was the friendliest place in town; an era when the Allies had just won the war and America was full of optimism and hope. Couples would sit at the fountain sharing a malt and listening to Nat King Cole.

Sound fun? Then check out a menu of great American classics -- the Original Hamburger; piping hot American fries; hand-dipped shakes, and malts made with real malted powder; old-fashioned flavored soda pop; and freshly baked apple pie like Mom used to make. Quality, freshness and sparkling, immaculate surrounding are all Johnny Rockets' trademarks.

First established on Los Angeles' fashionable Melrose Avenue twelve years ago, Johnny Rockets operates 116 restaurants worldwide, including corporate-owned locations and franchises in 25 states, as well as Australia, Canada, Japan, Kuwait, Lebanon, Mexico, and the United Arab Emirates.
