Black Rock Coffee Bar is entering the Arizona market strong, with two locations this year and a third in March. JLL Phoenix repped the Portland-based coffee shop in negotiating three leases. Black Rock operates 32 locations across Oregon, Washington and California. The company will offer specialty coffee beverages and breakfast and lunch options at two locations in Chandler, opening in October and March, and one location in Mesa, set to open in November.

“Black Rock has selected three excellent locations for their Arizona rollout,” says JLL SVP Tyson Switzenberg. “Each is a highly visible, freestanding or end-cap drive-thru location, in the heart of an active community and surrounded by popular retailers. They have successfully planted their flag in Arizona, with more locations to come.” The company is still looking for locations in Phoenix and plans to open several more stores across the state over the next year.
