Yard House looks to be on its way to The Collection at Janss in Thousand Oaks, a move that would bring the craft-beer chain to the city for the first time. The restaurant is listed as "coming soon" on the shopping center's directory and is slated to land near the cluster of entertainment and off-price retailers along Hillcrest Drive.
According to WhatNow, the center's online directory lists Yard House as "coming soon" and maps the future spot next to Dave & Buster's, DSW, and Nordstrom Rack. The outlet credits the initial tip to a local site; Conejo Valley Guide reported in June that a permit for the project was filed May 19 and remains under review. Conejo Valley Guide's post adds that the proposal would replace a two-story office building and introduce outdoor dining and a beer-garden-style area.
Where It Would Sit
The Collection at Janss, located at 145 W. Hillcrest Drive, is home to tenants including Nordstrom Rack, DSW and Dave & Buster’s, according to the property's listing from NewMark Merrill. The Yard House entry on the center's directory is mapped to the corner of Hillcrest Drive and Wilbur Road, putting it near the center's main parking and entertainment corridor.
What Yard House Will Bring
Yard House is part of the Darden Restaurants portfolio of brands, which the company lists in recent investor and press materials, according to Darden Restaurants. The chain's menu leans heavily on a large draft-beer lineup paired with burgers, pizzas, sandwiches, steaks and seafood, per the official site for Yard House.
Timing And Permits
No opening date has been announced. The directory listing currently shows only a "coming soon" placeholder, according to WhatNow. City planning filings are still active: Conejo Valley Guide reported a May 19 permit submittal and said the project remains under review. NewMark Merrill has been marketing and repositioning the Janss properties in recent years, making The Collection at Janss a likely target for refreshed restaurant and entertainment tenants as the company pursues broader redevelopment plans.
What To Watch
Locals should keep an eye out for official announcements, construction permits or new signage at the center that would confirm the project is moving forward. This story will be updated as the city posts new records or the chain confirms a timeline.
