Dutch Bros Coffee is expected to open its Owensboro location in early December, a representative told Owensboro Times on Tuesday.
The location is “expected to open” on December 2, but that is “not a confirmed hard date,” according to an email from Phil Radcliff of TRIO Commercial Property Group, who helps represent Dutch Bros in their site selection efforts across the region.
Dutch Bros will occupy the south end of the three-unit building that also houses Rock N’ Roll Sushi, located along Frederica Street in front of the former Texas Gas building. Signage was installed this week.
The location will include a walk-up window on the front of the building. A double-lane drive-thru stretches along the back side of the building, with the pick-up window on the side.
An email from Radcliff said, “Frederica Street is one of the city’s most active retail corridors, and we believe this location will allow Dutch Bros to plug into the energy of Owensboro and become part of the daily routine for many residents.”
The Dutch Bros expansive drink menu includes “Dutch Faves,” seasonal specials, classic and protein coffees, lattes, matcha, energy drinks, lemonades, iced teas, shakes, smoothies, and hot cocoas.
Dutch Bros was founded in 1992 by brothers Dane and Travis Boersma, who launched the business with a pushcart and a double-head espresso machine in Grants Pass, Oregon.
“While espresso-based beverages are still at the core of what we do, Dutch Bros now offers a wide variety of unique, customizable cold and hot beverages that delight a broad array of customers,” the company states on its investor relations website.
The company now operates more than 1,000 locations across nearly 20 states.
