the BJ's concept. We have three more restaurants currently under
construction in Texas, of which two are in San Antonio and one is
in Houston. We continue to remain on track to open as many as
10 to 11 new restaurants during 2010 and thereby increase our total
restaurant operating weeks by approximately 13% during the
year."
