Black Bear Diner Opens in Garden City, Kansas
Diner marks 161st diner system-wide and first location with new franchisee LVP Food Service Concept
Black Bear Diner today announced the opening of its newest location in Garden City, Kansas. The franchise-owned diner is the latest Midwest addition to the company’s expanding portfolio and marks the second location in the state. The opening builds on recent growth for the company, including three Texas diners that opened this summer, and reinforces Black Bear Diner’s commitment to continued expansion across the country.
The Garden City diner is the first of five locations planned for new franchise partner LVP Food Service Concept. Future sites have been identified in Arizona, Colorado and Nevada.
“We’re thrilled to welcome LVP Food Service to the Black Bear Diner family,” said Anita Adams, CEO of Black Bear Diner. “Their commitment to Black Bear Diner is exciting and we look forward to growing our partnership.”
Located in the TravelCenters of America just off US Hwy 400 at 1265 Solar Avenue, the diner seats up to 150 guests and is open from 6am – 11pm.
“We, at LV, are excited to open our first Black Bear Diner in Garden City, Kansas,” said Jeanette L. Davis, Sr. Vice President of LV Petroleum. “This project has been two years in the works, since purchasing the travel center in December of 2022. We’ll be serving the Garden City community great food with great service in a relaxing environment and are looking forward to seeing a great turn out on opening day.”
Black Bear Diner currently operates 161 diners across 13 states. The company plans to open one more diner by the end of the year in Harlingen, Texas.
