“We are very excited to not only open our first diner in Tulsa, but also our third in the Sooner State in just nine months,” stated Black Bear Diner Co-Founder and Chief Executive Officer Bruce Dean. “We couldn’t be more thrilled to be continuing our eastward expansion, and we look forward to bringing home-style comfort classics – and our trademarks bears – to the community of Tulsa.”
