Town Center of Virginia Beach Welcomes Classic Americana Restaurant to Community

VIRGINIA BEACH ,VA (Tuesday, March 21, 2006) - You won't need a map to find the newest Johnny Rockets location since it's located right in the center of Virginia Beach at the recently opened Town Center of Virginia Beach, which spans more than 17 city blocks. The Johnny Rockets Group, Inc. today announced its first Virginia Beach location, enabling Johnny Rockets to excite Virginia Beach residents with its mouth-watering hamburgers, delicious American fries, creamy hand-dipped shakes and classic tunes from the table-top jukeboxes.

"The Town Center gives Johnny Rockets access to a growing section of Virginia Beach," said Mike Shumsky, chairman and CEO, The Johnny Rockets Group, Inc. "It's located in an area that will eventually be the downtown focal point of the city giving us access not only to the residents of Virginia Beach, but also to visitors and tourists in town for the many attractions Virginia Beach has to offer."

Centrally located in the business district, the Town Center of Virginia Beach opened in 2005 and features 4.3 million square feet of mixed-use development, including upscale retail stores, luxury residential living space, office space, a business-class hotel and restaurants. With more than 153,000 people employed within a five-mile radius of the Town Center, Johnny Rockets will be a popular lunch time destination for workers in the Virginia Beach community.
