[EXCLUSIVE] Dutch Bros. Are Coming to Growing Georgia College Community

Planning documents indicate that Dutch Bros. Coffee is looking to add to its Georgia presence with a new location in Statesboro.  

The new coffee shop is planned for 23950 Highway 80 East and would join several recently opened eateries including Five Guys, Dunkin', Popeyes, Texas Roadhouse, and Jim 'N Nick's.  

The parcel is currently vacant but will be redeveloped into a freestanding, 986 square foot Dutch Bros. drive-thru coffee shop. The property is less than ten minutes from the campus of Georgia Southern University.     

The Dutch Bros. beverage menu is diverse, with coffees, teas, sodas, smoothies, lemonades, and energy drinks among other offerings, while its food menu is quite limited. According to the Dutch Bros. website, the food selections (referred to as "Snacks") include only a chocolate chip muffin top, orange cranberry muffin top, lemon poppy seed muffin top, and a granola bar.  

Brothers of Dutch descent Dane and Travis Boersma started the business as a pushcart in Grants Pass, Oregon in 1992.  The company began franchising in 1999, and after growing to several hundred units, ceased offering new franchises as of 2017, although franchisees still operate some locations.   

Dutch Bros. became a publicly traded company in 2021 and trades on the NYSE under ticker "BROS."   

ToNeTo Atlanta first reported in November 2023 that the company was looking to open its first location in the Atlanta market at 9630 Medlock Bridge Road in Johns Creek.  After several unexplained delays, this location opened to tremendous fanfare on July 25.   

The company made its Georgia debut earlier in July with a location on Watson Boulevard in Warner Robins.  

Other Atlanta area units planned for 4545 Hugh Howell Road in Tucker and 2465 Buford Drive in Lawrenceville are expected to open by the end of the year.  The company is also looking to open new locations on Holcomb Bridge Road in Roswell, with ToNeTo Atlanta tracking other potential locations in Columbus, Johns Creek, Snellville, and Kennesaw.
