The Black Rock Coffee Bar at 1821 E. Broadway was the Portland, Oregon, business’s first foray into the Tucson market.

A Portland, Oregon, coffee chain that opened its first Tucson location just last fall is already planning its fourth and fifth shops locally.

Black Rock Coffee Bar opened in October at 1821 E. Broadway, near Campbell Avenue, and has since opened two drive-thru only locations at 8601 E. Golf Links Road and 2705 E. Valencia Road.

Now the boutique chain has a fourth store under construction at 6393 E. Grant Road, near Wilmot Road, and has signed a lease for a fifth shop on the currently empty lot on the northeast corner of Grant Road and First Avenue.

Jeramy Price, with Volk Co., represented the coffee shop and Dave Carroll, with Romano Real Estate, represented the landlord, Jagor LLLP, in the Grant and First lease.

The new stores on Golf Links and Valencia have both been sold to investors for $1.5 million each.

With one Black Rock Coffee Bar at 1821 E. Broadway Road and two other drive-thru locations, work on its fourth and fifth shops is underway.

Black Rock is known for its roasted coffee, smoothies and energy drinks.
