Johnny Rockets, described in a news release as an all-American burger chain founded in the late 1980s, is set to open a Chandler Fashion Center indoor location in early 2026.

Longtime franchise owner Richard “Rip” Riva now owns, including Chandler and the recently opened Arizona Mills location in Tempe, all six Johnny Rockets restaurants in the Valley.

The chain specializes in deluxe burgers, though hot dogs, chicken strips, sandwiches, fries, tots, onion rings and shakes are also part of the menu.

The Chandler Fashion Center at 3111 W. Chandler Blvd., west Chandler, northwest of the Loop 101 / Loop 202 interchange.
