Romacorp, Inc. announced the opening of three new Tony Roma’s restaurants in three different countries. The openings include a unique, new dual branded concept in Torrance, CA and new openings in Jakarta, Indonesia and Bangkok, Thailand.
The new openings in Jakarta and Bangkok were by Tony Roma’s Area Developer, Mas Millennium. Mas Millennium is based in Singapore and currently owns and operates Tony Roma’s restaurants in seven countries throughout Asia.
The new Torrance Tony Roma’s in the Los Angeles market was opened by WDI, International. The freestanding building also includes a Capricciosa Italian Restaurant that is the first U.S. opening. WDI was Tony Roma’s first international franchise partner and they also own and operate Tony Roma’s in Japan, Guam and Hawaii in addition to other southern California tourist locations including Anaheim and City Walk at Universal Studios.
“We are extremely pleased with these new openings both in the U.S. and internationally,” said Ken Myres, President. “All three of these new Tony Roma’s reflect our new prototypical design and décor elements as well as feature our new menu items. Our international presence in 32 countries is well known, but the continued development of new Tony Roma’s in the U.S. is very important to our success.”
Brad Smith, Executive Vice President of Romacorp, said, “We are very proud of the strength and commitment of our franchise partners in their continued growth. Both WDI and Mas Millennium have been long time franchisees and they continue to develop and open new Tony Roma’s in all of their markets. We are confident that our guests in Los Angeles as well as Jakarta and Bangkok will enjoy our great food and service at these three new locations.
“These new restaurants demonstrate Tony Roma’s commitment to continued growth and expansion both domestically and internationally, despite the economic downturn. We have a number of new locations planned for future development over the next several years,” added Smith.
