A new cafe from the national coffee company is in the works.
From Statesman Journal, Black Rock Coffee Bar is opening at 2900 Kuebler Boulevard SE in the anticipated Kuebler Village area. There is also set to be a new shopping center with a drive-thru and hotel. The project is currently under construction.
Black Rock Coffee has over 150 locations around the country, many of them focused in Texas, the Southeast and the Pacific Northwest, with recent expansion in Colorado. The company was started by Jeff Hernandez and David Brand in 2008, with initially opening a drive-thru coffee shop in Beaverton. Now, the two have seen massive growth in U.S. markets.
There are around 20 cafes listed in Oregon, with another Salem location at 1288 Lancaster Drive NE. There is not any news of further expansion in Oregon at the moment.
The 24.6-acre project is being built near Costco Wholesale, with Killer Burger and Chick fil-A close-by off of Kuebler Boulevard. This has been a planned project for over a year, with the shop being approved this past summer. A convenience store and gas station are also being constructed at the space.
