US-based restaurant chain Black Bear Diner has announced the opening of its new venue in Tonopah, Arizona.
Located at TravelCenters of America off of Exit 103 in Tonopah, the new Black Bear Diner restaurant has the capacity to accommodate 158 guests.
It is the eighth location that the restaurant brand has opened with franchisee TravelCenters of America.
TravelCenters of America Full-Service Restaurants vice-president Jack Hancharick said: “We are pleased to add to our full-service dining offer.
“Our guests love the Black Bear Diner concept and our team is excited to welcome such a popular brand to the TA in Tonopah’s wide array of offerings.”
The restaurant chain noted that the Tonopah venue is the company’s fourth system-wide location to open this year and it plans to add another six outlets in 2023.
Black Bear Diner CEO Anita Adams said: “We’ve seen incredibly strong growth and momentum thus far in 2023 and are eager to continue executing our expansion plan, which includes both company-owned and franchise-owned diners.
“Our franchise partners are a huge part of our success and we have enjoyed working alongside TravelCenters of America to bring classic, family-style comfort food, bear-themed dining environments and quality service to new communities in convenient locations.”
In May this year, Black Bear Diner opened a new diner in Menifee, California.
This is the company’s 156th location in the US, with a capacity to accommodate 163 guests indoors and 40 more guests outdoors.
