Twin Peaks has scheduled its Jacksonville restaurant grand opening for 5 p.m. Sept. 4.
“Due to unforeseen circumstances, Twin Peaks Jacksonville Grand opening has been RESCHEDULED!!!” the restaurant posted on its Facebook page.
It had scheduled its opening for 5 p.m. July 31.
Sept. 4, it said is “just in time for Game Days.” It's also Labor Day.
Twin Peaks is building-out at 11892 Atlantic Blvd at southwest Kernan and Atlantic boulevards in East Arlington at a project cost of $1.76 million.
The Dallas-based Twin Peaks sports bar and restaurant chain calls itself “the ultimate sports lodge featuring made-from-scratch food and the coldest beer in the business surrounded by scenic views and the latest in high-definition TVs.”
The menu includes appetizers, wings, burgers, sandwiches, tacos, soups, salads, sides, desserts and entrees.
Twinpeaksfranchise.com says Twin Peaks is built upon five brand pillars – “The Twin Peaks Girls, made-from-scratch food, 29° draft beer, sports on wall-to-wall TVs, and of course, the local lodge atmosphere.”
“Our Twin Peaks Girls are the essential ingredient to the perfect lodge experience. They are the beautiful faces that represent the brand and the reason our customers consistently come back for more. Equal parts friendly, engaging and attentive, our Twin Peaks Girls ensure every guest feels like a regular,” Twinpeaksrestaurant.com explains.
The city issued a permit March 2 for Cliff Mason Construction LLC of Swainsboro, Georgia, to renovate the former Cinco de Mayo building, which began as Johnny Carino’s. Cinco de Mayo moved to Harbour Place.
The permit shows the 6,542-square-foot restaurant will be renovated.
Previous plans showed the addition of interior dining space and a patio addition.
JM Civil Engineering of Allen, Texas, is the civil engineer. Brian S. Thomas Architect of Greenville, South Carolina, is the architect.
Franchise owner Moussa Haidar filed a fictitious name with the state June 9, 2022, to do business as Twin Peaks Restaurant.
The project is a renovation and remodel of the existing restaurant. Haidar said previously he expected to invest up to $3 million to remodel the building.
The closed Kernan West restaurant was built in 2003. It originally was leased to Johnny Carino’s Country Italian and then became a seafood restaurant before it, too, closed.
Twin Peaks says 90% of its restaurants are conversions of existing free-standing casual dining restaurant locations.
Twinpeaksrestaurant.com shows there are 12 in Florida, including the two coming soon to Jacksonville and Sarasota. The closest to Jacksonville is in Daytona Beach.
Twin Peaks reported July 28 that it was set to reach 103 locations before the end of July and plans to open eight more restaurants in several new markets before the end of the year.
“The brand has set its sights on becoming the top sports bar in the country and anticipates expanding its footprint to 200 lodges by 2027,” Twin P3aks said.
It opened its 100th location on Memorial Day weekend. That one was in an Indianapolis suburb.
Twin Peaks says it has locations in the U.S. and Mexico and is expanding globally.
