History

The BJ's in Hillsboro, Oregon

BJ's was founded in 1978 and first opened in Santa Ana, California, as BJ's Chicago Pizzeria[5] by Mike Phillips and Bill Cunningham.[6][7] Phillips and Cunningham sold their company to their accountants Paul Motenko and Jerry Hennessy in 1991.[8][7]

By 1996, seven restaurants had opened between San Diego and Los Angeles. Originally known as Chicago Pizza, the company went public about 1996, raising $9.4 million.[9] 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.[9] During the same year, the company opened a microbrewery at its Brea restaurant.[10]

Between 2010 and 2011, the National Retail Federation named it as one of the 10 fastest growing restaurants in the U.S. based on year-over-year sales.[11]

In October 2012, Greg Trojan became president and CEO.[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]
