Event Will Benefit Marana Community Food Bank
The grand opening of the new Johnny Rockets Express at Tucson Premium Outlets will take place on Saturday, August 20, 11 am – 1 pm. The new restaurant marks another opening for the global restaurant that showcases the brand’s new logo and design. The Express prototype is designed for smaller footprints and the new kitchen equipment cuts food production times by more than half without sacrificing the superior quality and consistency of all the menu items at Johnny Rockets.
“We’re excited to return to the Tucson market after a six-year absence,” said Joel Bulger, Chief Marketing Officer for Johnny Rockets. “Fans in the Tucson area have been asking us to come back and Tucson Premium Outlets provided us with the perfect location for our new Express restaurant. Our new state-of-the-art kitchen technology makes it possible for our team to prepare and serve the same great fresh, never frozen burgers and hand-spun shakes at a faster pace. Guests can stop by and enjoy a great meal and get right back to shopping.”
