The most recent Black Bear Diner opened Octoin Brownsville, Texas. Black Bear Diner currently has nine operating locations in Texas, with the majority of its diners in the suburbs of Houston. Plans are also underway to open Black Bear Diner locations in McAllen – along the state’s southern border, Mesquite and Fort Worth – both outside of Dallas, and Harker Heights – north of Austin, by the end of October. Ongoing initiatives with franchise partners will also expand the diner concept’s current presence in California, Texas and Washington, along with potential for new locations in other western states.Ī location in Pasadena, Texas – in the greater Houston area, is currently under construction and is expected to open in early April. Once all six locations are fully operational, Texas will have the most Black Bear Diner locations outside of California.

The new diners are a combination of conversions and ground ups and will incorporate recent design changes to better accommodate off-premise dining. Having recently finalized an agreement to convert a closed restaurant in San Antonio, Black Bear Diner has its sights set on opening the doors to at least six new company-owned diners throughout the state in 2022. Black Bear Diner announced plans to bring its one-of-a-kind, bear-themed dining concept and classic, home-style comfort food to more cities across Texas.
