A new Caribou Coffee shop is on the horizon in Farmingdale, New York. This will mark the first location for the Minneapolis-based chain in the state. Plans have been submitted to the town of Babylon for approval, and a public hearing is set to review the proposal. The coffee shop will be built on Broadhollow Road, covering nearly half an acre, and will feature a drive-thru, indoor and outdoor seating.
• The proposed shop will be 1,800 square feet with 30 indoor and six outdoor seats.
• The project includes two properties that need rezoning from residential to business use.
• Caribou Coffee currently operates over 800 shops in 11 countries, but none in New York.
• The chain is part of Panera Brands and ranks as the eighth-largest coffee chain in the U.S.
This development is significant as it introduces a popular coffee brand to New York, potentially attracting new customers and enhancing the local business landscape. Caribou's expansion could also lead to more locations in the state, reflecting the growing demand for coffee shops in urban areas.
