Eddie Rocket's

Rocket Restaurants Limited opened their first restaurant in Dublin in 1989 and at one point^[when?] were present in 42 locations in Ireland (both in the Republic of Ireland and Northern Ireland), England, Wales, and Spain.^[3] The company still has a substantial franchisee base. The Spanish, English and Welsh sites have since closed.^[4][5][6] They also have a number of restaurants branded Rocket's by Eddie Rocket's; these restaurants are smaller fast casual restaurants that feature self service instead of table service, which is the norm in Eddie Rockets locations and have a more modern decor similar to that found in chains such as Five Guys and Shake Shack.

Eddie Rocket's restaurants are largely franchised, with 32 of the 40 restaurants held by franchisees.^{[citation needed]} They are a member of the Irish Franchise Association.

The 38 restaurants currently in operation in Ireland include:

A number of Eddie Rocket's restaurants in Cork, Galway, Limerick, Waterford, Wexford, and Clonmel were dissociated from the company and were rebranded as Rockin' Joe's in 2013 following a dispute between Eddie Rocket's and its largest franchisee, Limerick businessman Brian Dunne.^[9] Rockin' Joe's later rebranded as Shake Dog.^[10]
