Black Rock Coffee Bar Adding 3 Locations In The Valley

PHOENIX, AZ — Oregon-based coffee company Black Rock Coffee Bar is adding three locations in the Valley in 2021.

The company, which currently operates 18 locations in Arizona, will add locations in Phoenix, Scottsdale and Tempe, according to a company press release on Thursday.

The first of the new locations to open its doors was the store located at 13648 N. Tatum Boulevard, near the intersection of Tatum Boulevard and Thunderbird Road, which opened to the public on Friday.

The other two locations are the Tempe storefront that is located 1202 W. Broadway Road, which is the company's first in the city. The Tempe location is slated to open March 12.

The third and final location to open is the Scottsdale storefront, situated at 8870 N. 90th Street, near the 9th Street exit on Loop 101, which is scheduled to open in April.

"After the northwest, Phoenix, Arizona is our second largest market," Jeff Hernandez, Co-Founder and Executive Chairman of Black Rock Coffee Bar said in the press release. "When we look at markets, we look at the community, its culture, the people, their families, and determine if we fit in with that community. It really comes down to the feel of the place - and we were drawn to Phoenix from the start. We feel we have established an authentic connection to the community."

Black Rock was founded in Oregon in 2008 and has 81 locations in seven states, including Arizona, California, Colorado, Idaho, Oregon and Washington.
