BJ’s Restaurants sees FY24 capital expenditures $70M

“During 2024, we expect total capital expenditures of approximately $70 million, net of tenant improvement allowances, which includes three new restaurants and 20 existing restaurant remodels. The first new restaurant is scheduled to open during April in Brookfield, Wisconsin, marking the first BJ’s restaurant in the state. Following the Brookfield, Wisconsin opening, the two additional new restaurants planned for 2024 will be our new prototype which is designed to cost approximately $1 million less to build than recent new restaurants. By the end of 2024, we expect about half of BJ’s restaurants to either be the most recent prototype or have been refreshed in the past three years as part of our remodel initiative. With significant and improving cash flow from operations, expanding margins and a healthy balance sheet, we have the financial flexibility to execute multiple initiatives to enhance shareholder value,” Levin concluded.
