HUNTINGTON BEACH, Calif., 2017-Sep-08 — /EPR Retail News/ — BJ’s Restaurants, Inc.(NASDAQ:BJRI) today announced the opening of its restaurant in Columbia, South Carolina. The new BJ’s Restaurant opened on Monday, September 4, 2017, on an out parcel of the Columbiana Station Shopping Center at 148 Harbison Blvd., Columbia, South Carolina 29212. 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 new restaurant in Columbia, the capital city of South Carolina,” commented Greg Trojan, President and CEO. “Our Columbia restaurant is our first restaurant in the state of South Carolina and our eighth restaurant opened this year. As we continue our national expansion, we look forward to opening more restaurants in South Carolina over the next several years. We expect to open our final two restaurants of fiscal 2017 later this year in Bowie, Maryland and Taylor, Michigan, which will be our first restaurant in the state of Michigan.”

As with all of our new restaurant openings, BJ’s invited members of the Columbia 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.
