BJ's Restaurants, Inc. is an American restaurant chain, headquartered in Huntington Beach, California.[2][3] The chain operates under the names BJ's Restaurant & Brewery, BJ's Restaurant & Brewhouse, BJ's Grill, and BJ's Pizza & Grill.

History[edit]

A BJ's in Hillsboro, Oregon
A BJ’s Brewhouse Location at Southern Park Mall, Boardman Ohio

BJ's was founded in 1978 and first opened in Santa Ana, California, as BJ's Chicago Pizzeria[4] by Jim Kozen and Leonard Allenstein.[5] The original name was BJ Grunts, but due to a Federal Trademark conflict with RJ Grunts, a Chicago-based hamburger shop, the name was changed.[6] Shortly after the opening of the first restaurant, Mike Phillips and Bill Cunningham bought 50% of the company for $14,000.[citation needed] Kozen and Allenstein left the group after the opening of the 7th store.[7][8] Phillips and Cunningham sold the company to their accountants Paul Motenko and Jerry Hennessy in 1991.[9][8]

By 1996, seven restaurants had opened between San Diego and Los Angeles.[citation needed] Originally known as Chicago Pizza, the company went public in 1996, raising $9.4 million.[10] The company then bought 26 Pietro's Pizza restaurants in March 1996 in a $2.8 million deal in cash and assumed debt, but then sold off seven of the locations with plans to convert the remaining Pietro's to what was then BJ's Pizza.[10] During the same year, the company opened a microbrewery at its Brea restaurant.[11]

Between 2010 and 2011, the National Retail Federation named it one of the 10 fastest-growing restaurants in the U.S. based on year-over-year sales.[12]

In 2013, BJ's produced a combined total of 60,000 barrels annually at their 11 brewery restaurants to serve their chain of 136 restaurants in 15 states.[13] In 2010, the company's BJ's Hefelightzen was awarded a gold medal at the Great American Beer Festival.[14] In 2021, Greg Levin was appointed to CEO.[15] As of December 2022, BJ's operated 215 restaurants in 29 states.[16]

Offerings[edit]

BJ's menu features pizza, beers, appetizers, entrees, pastas, sandwiches, salads, and desserts (including the signature Pizookie).[17] Some locations feature microbreweries that supply beer to other locations in the chain.[3]

Awards and recognition[edit]

At the 2006 Great American Beer Festival, BJ's Big Fish IPA achieved a gold medal within the American-style Strong Pale Ale classification. Its design draws inspiration from the Piranha Pale Ale, which secured a silver medal in 2002. In a similar vein, BJ's Jeremiah Red earned a silver medal in the strong ales category during the same festival in 1996. The Belgian-style wheat beer from BJ's has been honored with a Gold Medal by the North American Beer Awards.[11]
