In 2019, Coquitlam city council approved a development permit for the restaurant chain to build a 10,130-sq. ft. standalone eatery at the south end of the mall property, facing the Barnet Highway.
Cactus Club, meanwhile, currently operates a restaurant at 101 Schoolhouse St. in Coquitlam.
Recently, the company decided not to open in the Amazing Brentwood mall expansion project, according to the developer Shape Properties.
Cactus Club already runs three restaurants in Burnaby and has a relatively long history in B.C.’s hospitality industry.
The restaurant chain was started in 1988 in North Vancouver by Richard Jaffray, according to the company’s website.
In its first 25 years, Cactus Club Cafe grew to include 25 locations and employed 2,000 people.
