HUNTINGTON BEACH, Calif., April 02, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- BJ’s Restaurants, Inc. (NASDAQ: BJRI) today announced the opening of its restaurant in Brookfield, Wisconsin. The new BJ’s Restaurant & Brewhouse opened yesterday, April 1, 2024, on Bluemound Road retail corridor in front of the Brownstones Shopping Center. The restaurant is approximately 7,500 square feet, seats approximately 250 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. Current hours of operation are from 11:00 a.m. to 11:00 p.m. Sunday through Thursday, and 11:00 a.m. to midnight Friday and Saturday.

“We are excited to open our first restaurant of the year in Brookfield, Wisconsin,” commented Greg Levin, Chief Executive Officer & President. “Brookfield is our first restaurant in the state of Wisconsin. We look forward to opening more restaurants in the state as we continue our national expansion. We remain on track to open two additional restaurants in the second half of 2024 and continue to build our development pipeline to be in position to accelerate restaurant openings in 2025 and beyond. Following the Brookfield opening, future BJ’s will be our new prototype that will cost approximately $1 million less to build and provide greater operating efficiencies, while incorporating the best elements of our ongoing restaurant remodel initiative, including a new bar statement with the guest-favorite 130” television as a centerpiece.”

As with all of our new restaurants, BJ’s opens its doors to the local community prior to our grand opening. During this time, a portion of the proceeds from food and alcohol purchases, as well as any voluntary donations from the local community, are donated to the BJ’s Restaurants Foundation.
