Texas Roadhouse set for September opening in Santa Fe with staff of 200 workers
Officials from a Louisville, Ky.-based restaurant chain that is opening a location in Santa Fe say they are on target for a fall opening here and plan on hiring 200 workers.
A Texas Roadhouse location is under construction at 4399 Cerrillos Road in Santa Fe and is expected to open in September, according to spokesperson Stephanie Keck.
According to a news release, Texas Roadhouse is encouraging potential employees to apply through an online portal at Keck said applications for all positions are being accepted.
'We will be filling positions and then training a little bit closer to the opening date,' she said.
Texas Roadhouse has more than 720 locations in 49 states and 10 countries. It operates two eateries in Albuquerque and others in Las Cruces and Hobbs, Keck said, but this will be its first restaurant in Santa Fe.
'Santa Fe is a very exciting, amazing, beautiful place,' she said. 'We're really excited to bring our amazing food and legendary service to the community.'
The eatery is known for its steaks, ribs, chicken and hamburgers, along with its unlimited fresh-baked bread and peanuts.
Construction on the 7,900-square-foot Santa Fe location began last year, according to the news release.
The restaurant will be open from 3 p.m. to 10 p.m. weekdays and from 11 a.m. to 10 p.m. Saturday and Sunday.
