Discretionary income will be limited to a select few in the food business and this is not one of them.....

Proven casual dining concept has lots of room to grow. Currently operating 84 locations on track to open 8-10 additional in '09 (vs. 15 new in 2008). Ultimate build-out could approach 300 units.
Good operations have produced same-store comps off by just 0.1% over last year despite reduced consumer spending.
These guys have a menu with broad appeal, a flexible footprint that maintains an upscale casual feel in a variety of good locations. Minimal long-term debt, with adequate line of credit to cover short-term expansion costs.
Lots of potential with this one over the next 3+ years.

I just started working at BJ's Brewhouse and found that it's growing at an incredible rate. BJ's started in So Cal in the late 70's and is very popular with our tan surfer friends in Cali. It wasn't until just in the last 10 years that they've aggressively started growing with the promise that they'll open a minimum of 12 restaurants a year at this point. Since I've been following it the last few weeks I've seen the stock jump from $8 to $11. Everybody loves BJ's!

The fundamentals for restaurants could hardly be any worse. PE is 24. No thanks.
Love their pizza though.

coming back - will be a major chain in the US in 10 years, and lots of investors will like the pricepoint.

Good beer, good pizza... What else do you have to know?

Could be a good growth story...I like the concept of a brewery within a restaurant and it could help distinguish them. They aren't in all the major markets but yet they do have a decent number of locations already so it's not a total longshot.

With gas prices taking more out of the budget, the first thing to go is eating out. The stock should weaken as gas prices increase

Even with the recent price drop, BJRI is still frossly overvalued.

When this stock gets between $ 20.00 & $ 20.50, it likes to go up. This is a great stock to short and to buy. The P/E is way to high. On any day the stock goes up by $ 1.45, it will go up the next day as well. Then short the stock. If this stock gets back up to $ 27.00 or $ 28.00. Be sure and short as well. If you look at the chart on this stock you can get a good idea how this stock works. Just remember the P/E is high and one day this stock will fall hard. Specially when it get arond $ 28.00.

Great concept doesn't always mean great stock? Yes, I am blown away by the fact that BJ's has seen its stock soar fourfold over the past five years. 40 consecutive quarters of higher comps? That's amazing.
However, what's the deal with margins? Earnings came in flat last quarter and should come in flat here in the December quarter too. This morning's 3 million share private placement will dilute AND also test earnings per share in the near term.
On that front, BJRI wasn't looking so hot by trading at more than 50 times this year's earnings and more than 40 times next year's earnings.
The first whiff of operating profit margin improvement and I'm off the bear and on the bull here, but that's how I see it now.

Watch out world, the brewpubs are taking over!

Regional restaurant, growing quickly and expanding its footprint.

Bj's is a growing restaraunt chain with great food, and excellent beer. Everytime I visit one, they are absolutely packed, and I have yet to hear of a person that did not enjoy their experience at one. I think their growth strategy will expand their offerings to more customers around the country. I have been long since Nov. 2004, and will continue to hold for the long term.
