Club Moving-How To Rank Well On SERP

SEO question: The restaurant where our breakfast club, West Austin II (club 6379) has met for more than 25 years is closing. We'll be moving to another in a different neighborhood. Other than changing the location information on our website, is there something else we can do to attract the Google spiders and not lose our ranking on the first SERP? As our webmaster, I'm prepared to regularly add content. Any other steps I can take?
(I have read the Google Ranking doc, but I don't see this issue mentioned.)
Thanks.

1) We always require your club number.

2) Just because your club is physically moving has nothing to do with your website or SEO other than you will be changing the physical address.

Thanks, Brian. The club number is in the first sentence. Let me refine my question. Our physical address will change. When you look on the Google map associated with the SERP, it shows the current address. Will the spiders realize the address has changed and move it accordingly?

Probably, but it will take a while maybe as long as a year.
If you use the google webmaster tools you can speed up the change.
