# Black Rock Coffee Bar

> Black Rock Coffee Bar is a Scottsdale-headquartered, company-operated coffee chain built around fast drive-thrus, hospitable baristas and a broad menu spanning roasted-to-order coffee, all-day breakfast and its proprietary Fuel energy drinks. Founded in a 160-square-foot Beaverton, Oregon stand in 2008, the public company reached 200 stores across seven western and southwestern states in the second quarter of 2026. Its point of difference is a hybrid model: the convenience and throughput of a drive-thru beverage chain, lobbies at most stores, in-house roasting at two facilities, and a non-coffee energy line that represented roughly a quarter of 2025 revenue.
