"We are very excited to open our second San Antonio restaurant
in the Alamo Ranch retail project," said Jerry Deitchle, Chairman

than we initially expected. Our first BJ's restaurant in
San Antonio, located at the Village at Stone Oak, has performed
very well since its opening approximately two years ago. We
also plan to open another new BJ's restaurant in San Antonio at The
Rim retail project at Interstate 10 and La Cantera Parkway before
the end of this quarter. We continue to remain on track to
open as many as 10 to 11 new restaurants this year, of which three
have opened to date. We currently have five restaurants under
construction and other potential restaurant locations currently in
the plan development process."
