Our Mission
Bear Family Restaurants has a long-time commitment to Serving with Significance. Our culture is one of putting every guest at the center of everything we do. Without our valued guests, we would not be here. Our commitment also extends far beyond the four walls of each and every restaurant and we are deeply committed to our communities.
Since 1967, Bear Family Restaurants and its employees: family members as we like to think of them, have made a positive difference in tens of thousands of people’s lives. Our rich history of volunteerism chronicles our deep influence on local charities and the communities they serve.
Communities, charities, and our restaurant guests have welcomed our ‘Bear Family’ to an extension of their own families. Whether it is helping community organizations, first responders, educational facilities, or non-profits, Bear Family Restaurants is always there. We challenge ourselves as an organization every year to come together and donate our time, our resources, and our passion for the communities and areas we serve. Through our Volunteer Program, we challenge our entire organization to donate 2,000 hours of their time to help out local charities throughout Chicagoland. We are so excited to announce that we have now exceeded 5,000 Volunteer Hours since 2018!
