Tony Roma’sUS rib and steak restaurant chain, Tony Roma’s will open three new stores in Australia across Sydney and Melbourne.

The three stores follow the signing of a new development agreement with Three Home Runs, owned and operated by franchise partners Harry Djakaria and Denning Chong.

There is already one Tony Roma’s in Perth operated by Three Home Runs, with a Sydney CBD outlet having closed in June 2013.

Exact locations and timing for the new restaurants have not yet been determined.

“We are excited about this new agreement as it allows us to grow our Tony Roma’s brand in key markets throughout Australia, where we know guests will fall in love with our world-famous ribs and signature food and beverages,” said Ken Myres, president of Romacorp, parent company of Tony Roma’s.

“Harry and Denning are great partners with a strong passion for our brand and knowledge of the Australian consumer, and we’re confident that their leadership will be a driving force for Tony Roma’s future growth in Australia,” Myres said.
