Texas Roadhouse will build a restaurant similar to this in the Northway Plaza in Queensbury\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

BY JILL NAGY<\/p>\n

Construction will begin soon on a new Texas
\nRoadhouse restaurant in the Northway Plaza Shopping
\nCenter, 820 Route 9, Queensbury.<\/p>\n

It will be the first in the region. The closest is
\ncurrently in Albany. Construction is expected to
\nbegin in mid-June, said Travis Doster, media relations
\nhead for the Texas Roadhouse restaurant
\nchain, based in Louisville, Ky.<\/p>\n

The restaurant is expected to open in October,
\nDoster said.
\n“When you come into a Texas Roadhouse, we
\nseat you with a basket of our fresh-baked bread
\nand a bucket of peanuts,” said Doster.
\nLast year, he said, they gave away $20 million
\nworth of bread and peanuts.
\nCurrently, there are 15 Texas Roadhouses in
\nNew York state, including Albany and Plattsburgh.
\nThe Queensbury restaurant will join more than 450
\nrestaurants in 49 states.<\/p>\n

The restaurant will offer a variety of steaks
\nand prime rib, cut by their own in-house meat
\ncutters, and “scratch based” side dishes. According
\nto Doster, Texas Steakhouse restaurants make
\ntheir own croutons and salad dressing and prepare
\nvegetables from scratch.<\/p>\n

There are also burgers, salads and sandwiches;
\nchicken, pork and seafood dishes and kids meals.
\nThey will be open only for dinner, probably from
\n4-10 p.m., during the week, but from 10 or 11 a.m.
\nto 10 p.m. on the weekends, he said.<\/p>\n

The atmosphere will be what Doster calls “upbeat,”
\nwith country music playing. He said that a six-ounce sirloin steak, their most popular cut,
\nwith two side dishes and a beverage will be priced
\nat $10 or $11.<\/p>\n

There will not be any beer, wine or liquor
\navailable.
\nThe company does not franchise, but contracts
\nwith a managing partner to operate each outlet.<\/p>\n

The Queensbury managing partner will be Eric
\nBourgeois.
\nEach managing partner is required to make an initial investment of $25,000 and sign a five-year
\nrenewable contract. Gradually, the partner takes
\non more responsibility for operating the restaurant
\nand shares in the profits.
\n“By the time we hand them the keys,” Doster
\nsaid, “they know the business.”<\/p>\n

In addition to operating the restaurant, the
\nmanaging partner is encouraged to be active in the
\ncommunity in order to “create a more community
\nfocused restaurant.”<\/p>\n

Also, the company tries to have its employees
\nlined up before picking a location. The Queensbury
\nrestaurant is expected to hire about 200 people, nearly half of them, full time. About 60 percent
\nof the staff will work in the front of the house–
\nwaiters, bussers, greeters–and the rest, behind
\nthe scenes.
\n“It takes a lot of people to make awesome food,”
\nDoster said.<\/p>\n

The Texas Roadhouse chain was started in 1993
\nin Clarksville, Ind., across the river from its current
\nheadquarters in Louisville. Founder Kent Taylor
\nis still CEO and chairman of the board and hand
\npicked the Queensbury site, Doster said.<\/p>\n
