The Cheesecake Factory Inc. (Calabasas Hills, Calif.) plans to open its first location in Michigan at the Twelve Oaks Mall in Novi (near Detroit) later this year. The restaurant’s planned decor includes French limestone floors and decorative columns, as well as contemporary lighting, cherry wood and hand-painted murals. The 8430-square-feet space is will accommodate 225 guests with space for an additional 60 on the patio.

The company’s founder and ceo, David Overton, is a Detroit-native and considers this somewhat of a return to the company’s heritage: “Having grown up in Detroit and watched my parents start their cheesecake business here in the 1950s, opening a Cheesecake Factory at Twelve Oaks feels like a true homecoming.”
