Some big-name brands are coming to Oviedo, and development is going full steam ahead on a BJ's Restaurant and Brewhouse and a Moe's Southwest Grill/Dunkin' Donuts duplex.

The BJ's Restaurant and Brewhouse is set to be completed in July of this year, said David Weaver, the superintendent of the construction project. The new BJ's Restaurant and Brewhouse on Mitchell Hammock Road near Target and the Oviedo Mall is also making some headway in its construction, and no known issues have arisen yet, said Scott Brooke, an engineering inspector for Seminole County.

Brooke confirmed that a site permit was given on Feb. 18 for the project and work began a week or so after that.

"It was previously a Borders Bookstore, but they razed the building and are now building on top of it," said Cynthia Sweet, a senior planner for Seminole County.

The 7,363-square-foot restaurant is expecting to seat roughly 201 patrons, Sweet said.

BJ's Restaurant and Brewhouse serves a wide variety of foods, such as pizza, salads, pastas and burgers. BJ's also has other locations in Kissimmee, Daytona and at the Mall at Millenia.
