The Cheesecake Factory starts hiring for Birkdale Village restaurant with summer opening target

HUNTERSVILLE, N.C. — Hiring is ramping up for The Cheesecake Factory at Birkdale Village, with a late summer opening targeted for that restaurant.

CBJ’s Jennifer Thomas reported back in September that The Cheesecake Factory appeared to be working on a location at 8701 Townley Road in that mixed-use center in Huntersville. The restaurant chain confirmed its plans in February.
