Carhartt, the Michigan-based workwear retailer, plans to open its first Central Oregon store on November 12 in Bend. The store will be located in the former Cracker Barrel restaurant at 20512 Robal Lane, on the North side of Bend.
Store Details
The property has been vacant since Cracker Barrel closed its Bend restaurant in 2023. Initial renovation work took place under a 2025 permit, which involved removing interior walls and fixtures, updating portions of the exterior, and preparing site improvements for a future drive-through.
Current site plans divide the building into three separate storefronts, including one equipped with a drive-through window. The design also calls for new asphalt in the parking and drive-through areas, along with a 10-foot-wide concrete sidewalk running along the front of the building.
A separate permit application submitted August 6 seeks approval for two internally illuminated wall signs for the storefront. That application is currently pending with the city.
The new Carhartt location in Bend has begun posting job listings for the store. The company manufactures durable workwear, footwear, and accessories designed for workers and outdoor activities.
