Johnny Rockets has opened its third restaurant in Sacramento County, California.

The restaurant opened on April 14, in the Palladio at Broadstone, bringing classic Americana to the 595,000-square-foot lifestyle center. As an added draw for diners, the self-proclaimed "Home of the Original Hamburger" is located directly across from the 16-screen movie theatre and has a relaxed, casual atmosphere.

"Johnny Rockets is a family restaurant, a date restaurant, a business lunch restaurant and a place that offers everyone the uncomplicated goodness of all-American food and fun," says franchise owner Tariq Munir.

"The city of Folsom and nearby areas are saturated by young, affluent families, making Johnny Rockets an ideal restaurant concept for this growing community and center."

Munir says he is eager to further expand the nostalgic brand within the Sacramento area. Also owner of the Johnny Rockets locations at Arden Fair and Downtown Plaza, the established franchisee says: "We are here to provide this vibrant, growing community with our special brand of fun, including dancing servers, hearty comfort foods and good, old-fashioned customer service, always presented with a smile."

The newest Johnny Rockets restaurant employs 25 local workers and had a soft opening and special VIP event celebration on April 12. The 2600-square-foot restaurant also features timeless American red and chrome decor, jukeboxes ready to play guests’ favorite tunes and a full, traditional, Johnny Rockets menu filled with favorites like hamburgers, onion rings and dozens of shake selections.
