Earlier last month, JR Canada Restaurant Group Ltd. announced that the company will be opening its fourth Johnny Rockets Restaurant in British Columbia – a second Vancouver location on the popular West Broadway corridor at the intersection of West Broadway and Oak Street, close to the Vancouver General Hospital.Â

In a press release, Lewis Gelmon, President and CEO of JR Canada Restaurant Group, stated, "This will be the largest Johnny Rockets in Western Canada to date at just under 2,600 square feet utilizing the new restaurant look and feel of Diner 2.0, featuring our high-efficiency kitchen. 988 West Broadway is a state-of-the-art building adhering to LEED Gold standards, which made this location very attractive."
The popular burger chain will be part of the development project at 988 West Broadway, which will also include up to 85,000 square feet of premium commercial space with main floor retail and nine floors of office space. It is slated to be completed by the fall of this year.
