OREM, Utah — It won't be long until you can stuff your face at the newest Cheesecake Factory restaurant set to open in Orem this summer.

In January, it was announced the Cheesecake Factory was expanding its reach in Utah with a brand-new restaurant outside Salt Lake County.

Since then, construction has been underway to build a cheesecake palace at the University Place Mall in Orem.

Now, opening day seems closer than ever as the restaurant is looking to hire nearly 300 staff members.

Additionally, the company announced Utah's newest restaurant will open for the first time on July 2.

Known for its novel-like menu stuffed with delicacies such as avocado egg rolls, burgers, tacos and of course, every cheesecake you can think of, it's a restaurant that already has two locations in Utah.

But both located in Salt Lake County, at the City Creek Mall and Fashion Place Mall, Utah County residents have had to travel quite a distance to partake in the beloved chain.

The new location in Orem will be located next to Dillard's and Itto Sushi, at a location that will be roughly 8,500 square feet.

All your favorite menu items (more than 250 choices and 30 cheesecakes!) will be available at the restaurant when it opens, although an exact timeline was not disclosed.

The restaurant announcement joins other grand openings at the University Place Mall in the last year.

In October, gourmet milkshake bar, "The Yard" opened at the mall, serving up over-the-top milkshake creations with unique toppings and flavors.
