VANCOUVER, Sept. 8, 2017 /CNW/ - JR Canada Restaurant Group Ltd., the master developer for the Johnny Rockets brand across Canada, is pleased to announce the opening of its third Canadian location. With two locations already doing well in Victoria, BC, Johnny Rockets third location is for those in Vancouver. Located on 755 Nelson Street the restaurant will be serving its classic hamburgers, fries, onion rings, and world famous milkshakes. A new flavour developed for the Vancouver location is the Matcha Green Tea Milkshake, which Johnny Rockets is excited for the general public to try.
Most Canadians are aware of the brand from trips taken south of the border, Mexico and to 30 other countries around the world for over 30 years. Carrying their good memories of the food and service experiences they had in the US and abroad, Canadians are flocking to Johnny Rockets restaurants for a taste of vacations gone by. This new style of Johnny Rockets has been dubbed Diner 2.0 and it's being rolled out worldwide. It boasts a modern, welcoming west coast feel with leather booths, distressed hardwood finishings and a Coke Freestyle Machine that can deliver over 150 flavours.
The Canadian owned group has opened the Vancouver restaurant in the same fashion as the others, skipping over the minimum wage and offering all staff members $15.00 per hour and up to start, putting them head and shoulders above BC's current minimum wage. Reflective of their goals to develop long term staff members that feel valued from day one, Johnny Rockets found themselves with no shortage of applications and are very pleased with the new team that will help launch Vancouver's first Johnny Rockets restaurant.
"We're excited to be bringing a great restaurant option to the workers, visitors and residents in the downtown core of Vancouver. Think of it as your neighbourhood restaurant where you go for great quality food with a really, really good milkshake on the side. Families, a quick business lunch, or a casual way to grab lunch with a friend, we feel confident you'll enjoy the Johnny Rockets Canada experience," said Lewis Gelmon, President and CEO of JR Canada Restaurant Group Ltd. Look for the next Johnny Rockets to open early next year on the corner of Oak and West Broadway, just steps from the VGH main entrance.
Johnny Rockets at 755 Nelson Street is just a few steps west of Granville Street. The restaurant opened its doors on September 2, and will be open daily from 11am until 9pm.
