Black Bear Bread Co. Expanding to Hyatt Place Sandestin at Grand Boulevard

Black Bear Bread Company, LLC. announces plans to open a second location at Hyatt Place Sandestin at Grand Boulevard this year. 

"I am so pleased we will soon be bringing the Black Bear Bread Co. experience to the new Hyatt Place Sandestin at Grand Boulevard,” said Dave Rauschkolb, Black Bear Bread Co. managing partner and co-owner. “After celebrating a successful debut year at our café and retail bakery in Grayton Beach, Phil and I are both humbled and honored by how Black Bear is reaching legendary status among both locals and tourists alike. We always envisioned the Black Bear concept growing, and feel Grand Boulevard was a natural fit for our neighbors to the west of us.” 

Hyatt Place Sandestin at Grand Boulevard is the first Hyatt branded hotel in the South Walton area. The 84-room, five-story hotel recently opened in December 2018 at the west end of the town center. 

The hotel is the latest development on Grand Boulevard – a high-end lifestyle Town Center with exclusive boutiques, renowned retailers, exquisite dining options, first-class events and entertainment, and a thriving professional community.

“We are thrilled the Black Bear Bread Co. creators chose to do their very first expansion at Grand Boulevard. BBBCo has garnered such a strong local, and even regional, following for itself as a purveyor of the finest baked breads and best coffee in town. We are so inspired by this fresh take on a neighborhood bakery and café!” said Dana Hahn, Vice President of Real Estate for Howard Group, developer of Grand Boulevard.

Grand Boulevard is centrally located in the popular and affluent vacation community of South Walton, Florida, in Northwest Florida. With 17 restaurants and eateries located in the Town Center, Grand Boulevard attracts a large number of the permanent population as well as second home owners and the area’s many visitors who enjoy the shopping, dining, hotels and entertainment offered within the Town Center.

“Our new location will offer convenience for our customers living in Sandestin, Miramar Beach and Destin," said Phil McDonald, Black Bear Bread Co. executive chef and co-owner. "The outdoor seating area will provide al fresco dining comparable to the sidewalk cafes of New York and Paris, and customers can expect the same quality and experience they are accustomed to at our Grayton Beach café with a few new twists!”
