About Black Rock Coffee Bar

Our Mission: To Fuel People Forward – One Connection, One Moment, One Cup at a Time We are a high-growth operator of guest-centric, drive-thru coffee bars offering premium caffeinated beverages and an elevated in-store experience crafted by our engaging baristas. Black Rock Coffee Bar was founded in 2008 in Beaverton, Oregon, by our co-founders Daniel Brand and Jeff Hernandez. What started as a single 160 square foot coffee bar in 2008 is now one of the fastest growing beverage companies in the United States by revenue and the largest fully company-owned coffee retailer in the country, with 158 locations spanning seven states as of June 30, 2025, from the Pacific Northwest to Texas. We were founded as a drive-thru only concept and evolved to include engaging seating areas, which we call “lobbies.” All of our locations include efficient drive-thrus and approximately 75% of our locations include lobbies as of June 30, 2025. We expect most of our new locations to include both drive-thrus and lobbies as we continue to grow. Our modern, inviting store formats-paired with a robust digital platform-allow us to deliver a dynamic and multi-faceted guest experience. Driven by a passion for Connection, Caffeine, and Community, Black Rock is a platform to do well by our baristas, guests, and the communities we serve. With a relentless focus on people and excellence, our culture has been key to our success. Connection We are a people first organization and we win with authentic connections. Our success is fueled by the personal connections between our store teams and our diverse range of guests that are cultivated while serving premium, caffeinated beverages with speed and consistency. These daily interactions, whether over a drink hand-off at a drive-thru window or a longer visit in one of our inviting lobbies, create “moments that matter” with our guests. Our exceptional guest satisfaction score, according to the September 2024 study, confirms our ability to consistently deliver on our brand promise while creating meaningful connections. We invest in making meaningful internal connections with our team members through a combination of extensive on-the-job training and career advancement opportunities. Black Rock offers more than a job-it is a platform for long-term development. Providing our team members with the tools and opportunities to advance fuels a more engaged, high-performing workforce. This commitment to professional growth leads to stronger guest relationships, excellent retention, and lasting brand loyalty. Caffeine Our approach to coffee and handcrafted beverages reflects the same attention to detail and care that we show every guest. Our team members are passionate about delivering high-quality, premium coffee and caffeinated beverages. That commitment starts with our exclusive use of premium beans that we roast in small batches in one of our two roasting facilities, promoting consistency, flavor integrity, and freshness. Coffee beans are delivered to our stores weekly and consumed within 14 days of roasting to maintain optimal taste and quality. We offer a broad range of premium coffee beverages, from our deliciously refreshing Nitro Cold Brew to our unapologetically indulgent Caramel Blondie. We also offer competitively priced, premium classics, including the Americano and customizable Lattes, providing a high perceived value offering to our guests. The breadth and flexibility of our menu supports long-term guest engagement, allowing individuals to evolve their drink choices over time without compromising on quality. This consistency strengthens brand trust and enhances overall guest experience. Our proprietary Iced and Frozen Fuel energy drinks further broaden our appeal, offering a customizable, flavor-forward option that resonates with a wide demographic. With a simplified menu and a wide variety of flavor combinations, Fuel provides an energizing and refreshing alternative that is suitable any time of day. Fuel showcases our ability to innovate while aligning with guest demand for bold, flexible options. Fuel has quickly grown into a popular product category, helping drive increased transaction volume and guest frequency. Community At Black Rock, we build genuine connections with our guests, support their daily lives, and foster a sense of community. These relationships-formed through shared moments and premium beverages-enable us to create a highly engaged guest base. Many of our guests refer to our stores as “my Black Rock,” reflecting a sense of ownership and belonging that is uncommon in our category. Our modern, purposefully designed stores serve as welcoming hubs where people come together. This environment is powered by our baristas, whose friendly, attentive service ensures guests feel recognized, welcomed and respected. Whether hosting a business meeting, a study group, a casual catch-up, or a first date, our locations offer a space where people connect and return regularly. As we expand into new and existing markets, our emphasis on building strong local ties remains central to our growth strategy. Our consistent, people-first approach helps ensure that each Black Rock location continues to function not just as a coffee bar, but as a trusted part of the communities we serve. Rapid Growth We have delivered strong performance by staying true to our core pillars: Connection, Caffeine, and Community. These values continue to guide our strategy and contribute to our ongoing momentum. As we scale our business, each new unit brings new, local baristas into the Black Rock family-deepening our connection with guests and fueling their daily routines. Our continued investment in people, infrastructure, and a distinctive guest experience supports sustained growth and operational excellence.
