Located at 22219 FM 529 STE A, Katy’s latest Black Rock store will host a soft opening on October 18th, with the full fanfare and free drinks arriving a week later. Yes, you read that right: on October 25th, customers will be treated to free 16-ounce drinks throughout the day to mark the occasion. And knowing the loyal fans of Black Rock, the lines are sure to be buzzing with excitement.

A Coffee Shop with Heart

While coffee chains seem to pop up on every corner, Black Rock isn’t just another spot for your morning latte. This rapidly growing company has built its success by creating spaces where people don’t just grab a cup of coffee—they build connections. Whether it’s the early-morning crowd on their way to work or students looking for a cozy place to study, Black Rock has made it a mission to be more than a pit stop.

“Houston has embraced our concept of providing more than just a cup of coffee—we create spaces where people connect and enjoy memorable experiences,” said Black Rock CEO Mark Davis. “Opening our 20th store in this dynamic metro area is a testament to our commitment to bringing communities together, one store at a time.”

And it’s not just Houston that’s falling for Black Rock. With 145 stores across the U.S. and 39 in Texas alone, the coffee bar is quickly becoming a go-to spot for coffee enthusiasts nationwide. Texas now makes up a whopping 26% of Black Rock’s total footprint, further solidifying the brand’s connection to the Lone Star State.

Community and Coffee: The Perfect Blend

Black Rock Coffee Bar isn’t just about selling drinks—it’s about giving back. The company prides itself on being a positive force in the communities it serves, and that’s more than just corporate-speak. From its dedication to creating opportunities for young people to learn leadership and business skills, to its 4G mission of grit, growth, gratitude, and grace, Black Rock is as committed to people as it is to premium brews.

Speaking of premium, Black Rock’s new Katy location will feature the brand’s signature industrial-modern design, creating the perfect space to relax, work, or socialize. And for those always on the go, Black Rock recently relaunched its Black Rock Rewards program, giving members an even easier way to order and get rewarded quickly through the store, online, or the app.

Growth Fueled by Community Support

Born in Portland, Oregon—a city synonymous with coffee culture—Black Rock Coffee Bar has grown exponentially since its founding in 2008. The brand’s rise isn’t just about coffee, it’s about community. In fact, Black Rock was recently named the "Fastest Growing Private Company" in Oregon and Southwest Washington by the *Portland Business Journal*. With accolades like being ranked 1179th on *Inc. Magazine’s* 5000 List of America’s Fastest-Growing Private Companies in 2023, it's clear this coffee company is on the move.

What sets Black Rock apart in a crowded market is its emphasis on human connection. From its dedicated baristas who brighten customers' days to its efforts in helping young people develop essential life skills, Black Rock’s mission is simple: to be a positive force wherever it plants its roots.
