In 1976, Tony Roma's was one of the first US chain restaurants to expand into the international market, opening their first store in Japan. During the late 20th and early 21st centuries, Tony Roma's expanded into Europe, South America, Australia and Asia. Tony Roma's has also expanded to the Middle East, including the UAE. As of 2015, Tony Roma's had around 120 international stores spread across five continents, with 20 restaurants in the United States.[1] The franchise introduced a brand makeover in 2016 with a new store model.[16]
As of 2016, the only location near New York City was inside Newark Liberty International Airport, after the Commack branch closed as part of a downsizing. There also remained a location in Niagara Falls at the time. The closure left 20 locations in the United States, with most remaining restaurants international.[17] In 2018, the company opened a location in South Palm Beach, Florida, its first US franchise in six years and its first new US restaurant since 2014.[18]
As of 2020, there are two locations in Southern California. There is one near the SouthBay Pavilion in Carson, California, and another in Anaheim, California, near the Disneyland Resort.[19]
Tony Roma's is consistently opening new restaurants in emerging markets.[1] In 2015, Tony Roma's became one of the first US-based restaurants to open a store in Myanmar.[20] As of 2018, Tony Roma's had "new licensing deals in the United States, Europe, Mexico, Australia and New Zealand" and "new development agreements in Spain, Nicaragua and Bolivia."[18]
