new restaurant is our 12th location in the state of Texas, where we
have enjoyed some of our strongest comparable restaurant sales
comparisons during the past couple of years, and where we continue
to do well on that measure. Our opening day sales in San Antonio
were stronger than we initially expected. To date, we have opened
eight new BJ�s restaurants during fiscal 2008. We remain on track
to open as many as seven more restaurants before the end of the
year and thereby achieve our stated goal to increase our operating
weeks by 20% to 25% for the full year.� BJ's Restaurants, Inc.

appetizers, sandwiches, soups, pastas, entrees and desserts.
