An official signing ceremony was held, today, as part of the International Franchise Association, U.S. Commercial Service and Franchise Times trade mission to Vietnam and Indonesia. This week's mission was assembled for thirteen companies representing nineteen brands to meet and develop business with prospective partners in those countries.

"The thing that makes Johnny Rockets such a unique international brand is that, although people can get a hamburger anywhere, we actually provide the decor, music, dancing, food and fun that signifies the best America has had to offer throughout the past 100 years," said Johnny Rockets SVP of International Development, Steve Devine.

Adds Johnny Rockets CEO, John Fuller, "This Indonesian agreement further demonstrates our commitment to international development and - if the response is similar to that which our brand receives in other non-U.S. markets - there is no doubt that locals and tourists will appreciate the freshness, cleanliness, friendliness and liveliness we bring to the table, every day. We're all about great food, outstanding service and an overall experience that makes people smile."

Traditional Johnny Rockets restaurants feature visible grills, jukeboxes, dancing servers and dynamic full service with both dining room and counter seating. The made-after-you-order menu is filled with favorites that include hamburgers, sandwiches, salads, sides and shakes that stay true to the tradition of simple, high-quality, meals that are both satisfying and delicious.

Johnny Rockets currently operates restaurants in sixteen countries, on five continents.
