Rock & Brews Restaurants
Rock & Brews is a one-of-a-kind, rock-inspired restaurant and entertainment concept designed to engage people of all ages with quality comfort food and local favorites, a broad selection of craft and international beers, and an energized environment that is reminiscent of being at a family-friendly music event. Founded by rock icons Gene Simmons and Paul Stanley of KISS, along with partners, restaurateur Michael Zislis and concert industry veterans Dave and Dell Furano, the first Rock & Brews opened near Los Angeles International Airport in Southern California in April of 2012. Each location boasts a backstage environment showcasing a "Great Wall of Rock," iconic rock art, concert trusses and lighting and multiple flat screens sharing some of the greatest rock concert moments of all time. Working with multi-unit franchise partners, the brand is expanding with three distinct concepts into communities, airports and arenas. Only two years after the first restaurant opened, Nation's Restaurant News named Rock & Brews as one of the 10 cutting edge restaurant concepts set to redefine foodservice on its 2014 list of "Breakout Brands" and, most recently, the magazine included the brand among the "Next 20" restaurant chains poised to join the Top 200 in the industry. Restaurant Business Magazine also recognized Rock & Brews as one of the "Future 50" fastest-growing small chains in America in its June 2015 issue. Rock & Brews was co-founded by Simmons and Stanley along with restauranteur Michael Zislis and concert industry veterans Dave and Dell Furano and currently has 12 family-friendly restaurants in the United States and Mexico with three additional locations set to open by January 2016. Having recently completed a rollup forming Rock & Brews Holdings, LLC, the company, founded in 2012, expects to surpass $85 million in revenues in 2017 with plans for 30 percent growth annually for the foreseeable future.
