The Metroplex is getting a seventh Cheesecake Factory restaurant in time for Christmas.

The notice filed with the state says the new Cheesecake Factory will go into an existing building. The address is 4100 Deer Creek, Suite 100, which is currently the Barnes & Noble Booksellers. The shopping center also has a Whole Foods and the AMC Highland Village 12 movie theater.
Barnes & Noble confirmed Wednesday that it will be vacating its current space in the shopping center.
