J. Alexander’s plans Peachtree City opening, hiring 90 to 100 workers

J. Alexander’s is lining up a late-summer opening in Peachtree City with a hiring push for 90 to 100 front- and back-of-house workers. Applicants can start applying June 22 at an on-site hiring center at 100 Market Place Blvd., where walk-ins will be taken Monday through Friday from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. and Saturday from 9 a.m. to noon.

The restaurant is expected to open in late August and will be J. Alexander’s fourth location in Georgia. The full-service menu will center on hand-cut steaks, signature salads and sandwiches, handcrafted cocktails and an extensive wine list, with a private dining room built in for business lunches, casual meals and special celebrations. The seven-day-a-week schedule suggests a staffing model that will need enough kitchen and floor workers to cover steady dinner traffic, private dining and the usual weekend rush.

The Peachtree City site has been taking shape for months at 100 Market Place Blvd. in a former Smokey Bones building. Cleanup and early construction work had already started by January, turning an existing restaurant shell into a new upscale dining room in a busy commercial corridor off Peachtree Parkway.

For restaurant workers, the size of the opening crew is the big signal. A call for 90 to 100 hires usually means a full pre-opening buildout, not a simple backfill round, and that can be the best chance to land an opening-team job before schedules and seniority settle in. In restaurants, those early hires often get the clearest path into training, section control and eventually shift-lead or management work once service begins.

The company has already used a similar playbook elsewhere in metro Atlanta. J. Alexander’s opened a location at The Battery Atlanta on April 27 after announcing plans to hire 90 to 100 workers there as well. That restaurant was described as the brand’s 40th systemwide and third in the Atlanta area, underscoring that the Peachtree City project is part of a broader Georgia expansion rather than a one-off opening. G.J. Hart, the CEO of SPB Hospitality, said the Peachtree City opening would introduce the brand to a new part of Georgia and keep growing in Atlanta.
