Steakhouse chain J. Alexander’s will open a new restaurant in Arizona in November.
The restaurant, which is part of Houston-based SPB Hospitality’s portfolio of restaurants, will open in Chandler at 7111 W. Ray Road, in the building formerly occupied by Buca di Beppo.
The first J. Alexander’s opened in 1971 in Nashville and the restaurant chain has grown to more than 70 locations in 15 states.
What to know about J. Alexander’s, new steakhouse coming to metro Phoenix
J. Alexander’s is the latest of several out-of-state companies that are looking to move into the Phoenix market. The Valley has become a destination for these restaurants because of its growing population and relatively cheap real estate.
In the last few months alone, Indianapolis-based restaurant group Huse Culinary announced plans to open a steakhouse called Harry & Izzy’s at the rising PV development, while Texas-based Perry’s Restaurants signed a lease in Gilbert for the first Arizona location of Perry’s Steakhouse & Grille.
