The Cheesecake Factory plans to increase its stable of restaurants by at least 65 percent in the next two years, company officials said Wednesday.
David Overton, chairman and CEO of Cheesecake, said the Calabasas-based restaurant chain will open seven or eight eateries in 1998 and eight or nine in 1999, mainly outside California. The company currently has 23 locations.
In the past two months alone, Cheesecake has opened three restaurants - in Las Vegas, Cambridge, Mass., and Miami.
``The openings were all excellent, above expectations,'' Overton said.
