Bj’s Restaurants, Inc.
A casual-dining restaurant chain known for deep-dish pizzas, handcrafted beers, and its signature Pizookie dessert — a warm cookie baked in a pan and topped with ice cream. It began in 1978 in Santa Ana, California, when the founders had to scrap their planned name "BJ Grunts" after a trademark clash with Chicago's RJ Grunts restaurant, so it opened as BJ's Chicago Pizzeria instead, later evolving into BJ's Restaurant & Brewhouse.

Select a row to see that insider’s individual transactions. Sum of the holdings confirmed in the 12 months before this insider's last filing. A Form 4 reports a holding per line — held directly, or through a named trust, partnership or foundation, and in each share class separately — never a person’s total. Lines not restated in that time are left out and shown apart: an active filer restates what they still hold, so a line they did not restate is more often an entity since renamed, whose shares a successor line reports too. An amber marker means some were left out.
Net open-market activity over the last 5 years: -558.7K shares. Grants, option exercises and tax withholding are excluded — they are compensation mechanics, not decisions to buy or sell.
