The Cheesecake Factory Coming To Estero
Well, this is exciting news. It looks like Lee County is getting The Cheesecake Factory in Coconut Point later this year. This will be Lee County’s first location. The Naples location opened in 2005 at The Coastland Center Mall.
A spokesperson for Coconut Point told Business Observer FL, The Cheesecake Factory will move into the space previously occupied by Stir Crazy Fresh Asian Grill which closed in December 2019.
The Cheesecake Factory is a California based restaurant chain, with over 200 restaurants nationwide. They’re known for their huge menu selection, famous brown bread, and of course Cheesecake.
With more than 250 items on the menu, it may be hard to believe that we make things fresh and from scratch in each restaurant – but it’s true! Our prep kitchens are one of the busiest spots in our restaurants, and it’s where the magic begins every day.
In the 1940s, Evelyn Overton found a recipe in her local Detroit newspaper that inspired her “Original” cheesecake.
Everyone loved her recipe so much she decided to open a small bakery, but eventually gave it up to focus on raising her children, David and Renee. She moved her baking equipment to her basement kitchen and continued to sell cakes to some of the best restaurants in town.
In 1972, Evelyn and her husband Oscar moved to Los Angeles to try one last time to have their own business. With the last of their savings, they opened The Cheesecake Factory Bakery and began selling Evelyn’s cheesecakes to restaurants throughout L.A.
Their son David decided to open a restaurant in Beverly Hills in 1978 to showcase his mother’s cakes. Somehow, he just knew that a restaurant with an extensive dessert menu would be a hit. There was a line out the door on opening day. More than forty years later, many say the line has never stopped!
