TL;DR
Black Bear Diner has opened its first Texas location in Pasadena. The diner is part of the company's expansion into Texas and features a new building format that supports off-premise business.
“We have been very encouraged by the success of our current Texas diners and are eager to open additional Texas locations, with the latest in Pasadena,” said Anita Adams, CEO of Black Bear Diner. “This opening is an essential part of our expansion into Texas and we are thrilled to welcome the community into our new diner.”
The Pasadena diner is located just south of Houston at 3497 E. Sam Houston South Parkway and will operate daily from 6am-10pm with over 5,600 square feet, 153 interior seats and 32 patio seats for guests. Black Bear Diner Pasadena is the second location to incorporate new building features that specifically support off-premise business, including a vestibule that has a separate pick-up window to accommodate takeout orders and third-party drivers.
The adapted store format relieves congestion at the cashier area to preserve the in-diner guest experience while accommodating increased off-premise business.
