Johnny Rockets will return to its retro diner roots under new FAT Brands ownership

Following FAT Brands’ announcement on Thursday that the global franchising company would be acquiring Los Angeles-based burger chain Johnny Rockets next month, FAT Brands CEO Andy Wiederhorn — who is taking over as CEO when the acquisition goes through — said that one of their priorities would be to bring back the ’50s diner theming that Johnny Rockets was originally known for.
