Dutch Bros. Coffee is a publicly held drive-through coffee chain in the United States. Founded in 1992 by brothers Dane and Travis Boersma, the company is headquartered in Grants Pass, Oregon. Dutch Bros. Coffee is known for its unique culture, customer service, and a wide variety of coffee and non-coffee beverages.

History[edit | edit source]

Dutch Bros. Coffee was established in 1992 when the Boersma brothers decided to leave their family dairy business and start a coffee cart. The first cart was located in downtown Grants Pass, Oregon. The company quickly expanded, opening more locations throughout Oregon and eventually across the western United States.

Dutch Bros. Coffee offers a diverse menu that includes hot and cold coffee drinks, energy drinks, teas, smoothies, and other specialty beverages.

Each year, Dutch Bros. hosts several fundraising events, such as "Drink One for Dane," which supports ALS research, and "Buck for Kids," which raises money for local children's organizations.

Expansion[edit | edit source]

Since its founding, Dutch Bros. Coffee has grown significantly. As of 2023, the company operates over 500 locations across multiple states, including California, Washington, Idaho, Nevada, Arizona, and Colorado. The company continues to expand, with plans to open more locations in the coming years.
