Black Bear Diner Grows Its Texas Footprint

California-based Black Bear Diner expands its presence in Texas with three new locations, reinforcing the state's position as a key growth market for the brand.

"The enthusiastic reception we’ve received across Texas reaffirms our belief in the enduring appeal of our concept, and is a testament to Texas’ robust economy. We’re investing in communities and creating local gathering spots that resonate with Texans, with plans for further expansion." — Anita Adams, CEO of Black Bear Diner

In a press release on Monday, the restaurant chain announced the opening of new locations in Baytown, San Antonio's Monterey Village, and Laredo, bringing their Texas total to 24.

The new locations have created 80-100 jobs each and feature unique, locally-inspired decor:

  • Baytown: 4021 I-10 Frontage - Pays homage to the Lynchburg Ferry service
  • San Antonio Monterey Village: 8614 TX-151 - Military-themed bear package
  • Laredo: 2704 Bob Bullock Loop - Honors the city's ranching heritage with bear decor

With 161 locations in 13 states, Black Bear Diner is known for its cabin-themed, family-style dining and homestyle comfort food.

In addition to the three new openings, Black Bear Diner has 21 other Texas locations, including Amarillo, Beaumont, Brownsville, and more. Find the full list here.
