BJ’s Restaurants Opens in Cincinnati, Ohio
November 20 2018 - 1:00PM
BJ’s Restaurants, Inc. (NASDAQ: BJRI) today announced the opening
of its restaurant in Cincinnati, Ohio (“Rookwood”). The new BJ’s
Restaurant & Brewhouse opened on Monday, November 19, 2018, on
a free standing pad on Edmondson Road at the Rookwood Commons &
Pavilion, one of the city’s premier open-air shopping destinations.
The restaurant is approximately 7,500 square feet, seats
approximately 230 guests and features BJ’s extensive menu,
including BJ’s signature deep-dish pizza, award-winning handcrafted
beer and famous Pizookie® dessert. BJ’s unique, contemporary décor
provides the perfect environment for all dining occasions. Hours of
operation are from 11:00 a.m. to 12:00 midnight Sunday through
Thursday, and 11:00 a.m. to 1:00 a.m. Friday and Saturday.
“We are excited to open our 5th and last
restaurant of the year,” commented Greg Trojan, Chief Executive
Officer. “Rookwood is our 12th restaurant in the state of Ohio and
our second restaurant in the Cincinnati market, joining our
Tri-County Mall location, which opened in 2008. Our 2019 new
restaurant pipeline is in excellent shape as we currently plan to
open seven to nine restaurants.”
As with all of our new restaurant openings, BJ’s
invited members of the Cincinnati community to attend a soft
opening event prior to our grand opening. As our team members put
the final touches on the restaurant, invited guests were treated to
complimentary food and had the opportunity to make a voluntary
donation to the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation, a very important
charity to BJ’s. Additionally, BJ’s donated the proceeds of all
alcohol purchases during the soft opening event to the BJ’s
Restaurants Foundation.
