We’ve been covering a lot of Cherry Hill news lately. Then again, it is, what we like to call a “proving ground” for chain/franchise type concepts especially. There is already so much packed along the Haddonfield Road corridor, from Cherry Hill Mall to Route 70 and surrounding areas. It is, without a doubt, one of the hotbeds of retail activity in South Jersey, and where there is shopping, there needs to be eating!
While this site was sad to confirm the news of Brio closing in July, there was considerable enthusiasm when it had emerged that popular Brazilian steakhouse chain Fogo de Chão would replace it at 901 Haddonfield Road. While there was no official announcement, various outlets all pointed to it being a done deal. There still has been nothing formal from the chain, but Towne Place at Garden State Park’s website shows it clearly on the store directory.
Furthemore, plans for the new restaurant have already received township zoning approval, with renovations expected to include enclosing the former outdoor patio area and reducing the restaurant’s seating capacity from 367 to 296. They’ll need the square footage from the outdoor patio to accommoate a new layout and Market Table (which comes with the experience).
While construction work has not begun yet, we’ll be eager to watch it unfold as the look of the current building will change drastically. We will provide updates as frequently as possible, including any potential opening dates, which are likely to occur early next year. We’ve been to the one in Center City multiple times, so we’re likely to go around the time it opens.
About Fogo de Chão
Founded in Brazil in 1979, Fogo de Chão is known for its traditional churrasco dining experience, where gaucho chefs prepare premium cuts of meat over an open flame and carve them tableside. Guests can enjoy a continuous selection of fire-roasted beef, chicken, lamb, and pork, along with the restaurant’s extensive Market Table featuring fresh salads, vegetables, charcuterie, and other accompaniments.
