Dutch Bros Coffee Confirms New Stores in Alabama, Florida and Louisiana

Dutch Bros Coffee confirmed on October 28 that it will open three new drive-thru shops in Alabama, Florida and Louisiana, with no opening dates set for any of them. Yahoo reported the planned locations, which add to a chain of more than 1,220 stores.

Dutch Bros Coffee Names Three Southern Sites

The three confirmed shops are at 3945 Atlanta Highway in Montgomery, Alabama; 764 W. Granada Blvd., Unit 2, in Ormond Beach, Florida; and 27392 Crossing Circle in Denham Springs, Louisiana. Dutch Bros declined to provide opening dates for the three shops.

The Oregon-based chain opened its first Virginia location this month in Virginia Beach, according to a Facebook post from the company. Dutch Bros' careers website also lists planned locations in Chester, Lynchburg and Yorktown.

Dutch Bros was founded in 1992 and has grown to more than 1,220 locations across the United States. Its menu includes specialty coffee, Dutch Bros Rebel energy drinks, Myst Energy Refreshers, nitrogen-infused cold brew, tea, lemonade and soda. Customers can find limited-time drinks on the seasonal menu as of October 29, including Creepy Crawler, Caramel Pumpkin Brûlée, Cookie Butter and Autumn Berry beverages.

Dutch Bros Coffee's Store Count and Growth Plan

Dutch Bros akta.pro company records show 1,177 US locations as of March 31, 2026, up from 441 at the end of 2020 and 982 at the end of 2024. The same records list 25 states, with the chain expanding beyond its core Western US footprint into Eastern markets including Alabama, North Carolina and South Carolina.

A mid-term plan in the records calls for 2,029 shops by 2029, about 19% annual store growth, and a long-term view estimates 7,000 US locations viable domestically. The records describe Dutch Bros as a public drive-thru coffee and beverage operator serving customizable cold drinks and Rebel energy beverages to Gen Z and millennial consumers through company-operated and franchise shops.

Earlier Dutch Bros Coffee Expansion Moves

Dutch Bros Coffee filed a pre-application permit for its first Tacoma location at 7605 S. Hosmer St. in October 2026, with construction not anticipated until January 30, 2028, Yahoo reported. The store would be the sixth in Pierce County, and the company also plans a Seattle location.

In May 2026, Dutch Bros agreed to acquire the 29-shop Phoenix East Valley franchise from retiring owner Jim Thompson, with closing expected in the third quarter of 2026, according to company records. The same records show the chain launched its Dutch Bros at Home packaged goods line in February 2026 through Walmart, Amazon, H.E.B. and Albertsons.
