Black Rock Coffee Bar, the popular Oregon-based boutique coffee chain known for its premium roasted coffees, teas, smoothies and flavorful drinks, continues to expand its locations in the U.S. with the addition of a new store in Surprise.

This is the first Black Rock Coffee Bar store in Surprise and the 21st in the state. 

The new 2,800-square-foot Black Rock store is at 13725 N. Prasada Parkway off Waddell Road. 

Scheduled to open on Friday, Oct. 29, Black Rock Coffee Bar will celebrate its grand opening by offering Surprise residents free 16-ounce drinks all day at this location. 

Black Rock was founded in 2008 in Portland, an area of the Pacific Northwest known for its coffee. The Surprise opening brings to 96 the total number of company coffee bars in seven states: Arizona, California, Colorado, Idaho, Oregon, Texas and Washington.

“We are thrilled to be expanding our Arizona footprint by bringing our first Black Rock Coffee Bar store to Surprise,” said Jeff Hernandez, co-founder and executive chairman of Black Rock Coffee Bar. “Surprise is known for its friendly neighbors and community, and we look forward to serving them and providing an authentic Black Rock experience that is caring, friendly and welcoming.” 

The Black Rock culture prides itself on providing opportunities for young people to learn how to lead, run a business, and develop people skills. 

Each new location will employ approximately 20 team members. Interested candidates can apply for employment @blackrockaz on Instagram.
