## Story

“Our entrance into Dallas is a milestone for our company as we continue our statewide expansion in Texas. We are proud to introduce Black Bear Diner to the Dallas community, and are eager to grow our presence in Texas,” said Anita Adams, CEO of Black Bear Diner. “The Mesquite diner is our latest converted building location, and a great representation of our versatile approach to opening new diners through both ground-up and conversion strategies. To date we have converted 14 different building layouts to a Black Bear Diner.”

The new Mesquite diner is open daily from 6am-10pm and is the fourth Black Bear Diner location to incorporate new design features that accommodate the brand’s growing off-premise business, which includes a vestibule with separate pick-up window for takeout orders and third-party drivers.
