Black Bear Diner, founded in 1995, is a fast-growing, community-oriented, family dining concept that offers a one-of-a-kind experience in a fun, bear-themed atmosphere.

The brand is strategically growing its national footprint, with a goal of 100 locations by 2018.
Recognized as a Top 10 Franchise Value by Full Service Restaurant Magazine and ranked 275th in Franchise Times’ Next 300 Franchises to Watch in 2013, Black Bear Diner is actively seeking experienced franchise operators whose passion, energy, and entrepreneurial spirit reflect that of the founders, and share a relentless commitment to serving their guests and communities.
About this location:
Step inside the Black Bear Diner in historic downtown Redmond and you behold an atmosphere full of modern touches, but with a hint of nostalgia. Maybe it’s the tree in the middle of the restaurant that stands out, or perhaps the delicious aroma of homestyle cooking is what’s getting your blood pumping. In the morning, you’re likely to see some of the ranchers and farmers getting ready for a full day of work, and possible even a cowboy or two. Later in the day, we’re often host to tourists and locals visiting Smith Rock, the JAQUA Sports Complex, the many PGA-designed golf courses, and the Expo Center that hosts a variety of attractions and events.
