Drive-thru coffee shops in northwest Indiana are set for a shake-up as two popular chains, Dutch Bros and 7 Brew, prepare to open new locations. Dutch Bros, a well-known brand from Oregon, will debut in Valparaiso, taking over a former Pizza Hut site. Meanwhile, 7 Brew plans to establish its presence in both Valparaiso and Crown Point, expanding its reach in the region. This influx of drive-thru options adds to the existing coffee scene, which includes local favorites and other national brands.
• Dutch Bros will open at 2510 LaPorte Ave. in Valparaiso, taking over a Pizza Hut.
• 7 Brew will set up shop at 2805 Calumet Ave. in Valparaiso and 10671 Broadway in Crown Point.
• Other drive-thru options include Scooter's Coffee and Lil' Coffee Cabin.
• National chains are gaining popularity as alternatives to Starbucks and Dunkin'.
This expansion matters as it reflects a growing demand for convenient coffee options. Consumers are looking for quick service and quality beverages. The competition will likely lead to better choices and prices for coffee lovers in the area.
