“We are very excited to open BJ's 90th restaurant in Carlsbad,
California,” commented Jerry Deitchle, Chairman and CEO. “Sales for
our first day of operations were very strong. The Carlsbad
restaurant represents our eighth new restaurant this year and our
fourth restaurant in the San Diego market, where our guests have
enthusiastically embraced the BJ’s concept since we opened our
first small format BJ’s Pizza & Grill™ in La Jolla back in
1980. We currently anticipate opening two more restaurants before
Thanksgiving (San Rafael, CA and Hurst, TX), thus successfully
completing our originally targeted expansion plan for 2009. We
currently plan to open as many as 10 to 11 new restaurants during
2010." Investors are reminded that the actual number and timing of
new restaurant openings for any given period is subject to a number
of factors outside of the Company's control, including weather
conditions and factors under the control of landlords, contractors
