Yea, I work with a Local LLC Dutch Bros here and he has opened up about 3-4 in the last year alone and has more planned ones. We also have a local guy who started out and was a former NFL player and had to retire early due to injuries and started his own chain and has about 5 stores now. I can tell you though another company tried to replicate Dutch Bros model and the drive through is literally dead. I missed my chance about 15 years ago to buy a vacant drive through set up place and wanted to do a bikini coffee shop after watching a video in college about how the ones in Seattle do so well and sure enough a company started there and has expanded to about 12 shops in 10 years. We missed the boat unfortunately.

Just too bad Dutch Bro’s no longer offers a franchise to anybody. New locations are company owned unless you had an existing LLC with them prior. But yea agree with you huge opportunity with them if we could.
