Cheesecake Factory set to open first regional eatery. Here’s when, where. (Update)

A restaurant chain known for its extensive menu and dessert offerings is finally making its way to the Lehigh Valley.

Cheesecake Factory has plans to occupy 8,900 square feet of space next to the Lifestyle Center at Lehigh Valley Mall in Whitehall. Elizabeth DiDuca, the mall’s director of marketing and business development, said the chain is gearing up for a late 2023 opening.

DiDuca told lehighvalleylive.com Monday evening Cheesecake Factory is part of the Barnes & Noble renovation project. The mega-bookseller last month closed temporarily at the mall and has since moved to temporary space that formerly occupied Track 23 on the lower level. Track 23 closed for good at the end of June.
