USA, MI: BJ's Restaurant & Brewhouse pushes back opening date to September 3
BJ's Restaurant & Brewhouse has pushed back its opening date in Livonia to Sept. 3, a one-week setback blamed on weather-related construction delays, Hometownlife.com reported on August 27.
BJ's also had a slight delay getting the final permits to open for business.
Kevin Mayer, executive vice president and chief marketing officer, cited those reasons on August 27 by email in response to questions.
"We are really excited to open our second restaurant in Michigan and introduce the great food and award-winning craft beer to new guests at our new BJ's Restaurant & Brewhouse in Livonia," Mayer said.
BJ's, which has 11 of its own beers and ciders, chose Livonia for its second location in Michigan. The first opened last December at Taylor's Southland Center.
With Livonia, BJ's now has 201 locations in 27 states. Its newest restaurant and brewhouse is on Haggerty Road, north of Seven Mile, on the former site of Champp's sports bar and near the AMC Livonia 20 movie theater complex.
Company officials have said BJ's beer will not be brewed in Livonia, but shipped here from one of six breweries in five states. The company is based in Huntington Beach, Calif.
Officials have said Jeremiah Red, an Irish-style ale, and BJ's Brewhouse Blonde are among the company's most popular beer selections.
