Originating in 1992, Dutch Bros opened its first franchise in 2000. The chain now has a significant presence in the Pacific Northwest and is expanding with more locations across the United States, moving eastward to Florida, Texas, Oklahoma and Georgia.
Looking further out, Dutch Bros sees potential for 7,000-plus locations nationwide, up from its original estimate of 4,000 shops. In 2025 alone, the company expects to open “at least” 160 new stores.
