Scooter’s Coffee is set to open at 1235 S. State Hwy 121 in Lewisville, according to a project filing with the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation.
With an estimated cost of $350,000, the coffee store will be a new building kiosk that includes drive-thru service. Construction is set to begin at the start of the year and be completed by March. Local franchisee, Wendy Wells, an entrepreneur and self described “coffee evangelist” is bringing the new Scooter’s Coffee to the area. Along with husband, Brett, the couple signed a multi-unit agreement with Scooter’s Coffee in June of this year.
After doing research on the brand, the Wells felt the Scooter’s business model was in line with their vision.
“We were sold during Be Amazing Day when it felt like a close-knit family,” Wendy said at the time, per Franchising.com. “Everyone was very helpful and answered all of our questions. We are so excited to get started with this wonderful brand!”
Founded in 1998 by Don and Linda Eckles, Scooter’s Coffee roasts only the finest coffee beans in the world at its headquarters in Omaha, Nebraska. The brand started franchising in 2001, and now has around 200 locations open and operating in 16 states across the country. The first original Scooter’s Coffee store in Bellevue, Nebraska, is still open and operating and has become a staple in that community. Even after 20 years of success, Scooter’s Coffee remains committed to its brand promise – “Amazing People, Amazing Drinks…Amazingly Fast!”
Its menu includes artisan espresso drinks, fruit smoothies, baked-from-scratch pastries and its signature “Caramelicious” drink. Just last year the brand added a new line of organic hot and iced teas, single-origin coffee and Cold Brew and Cream.
Scooter’s Coffee currently has 17 locations in Texas, including McKinney, Addison, The Colony, Little Elm, and Garland. According to its website, locations in Crockett and Katy are coming soon. The brand has plans to open additional locations in the Dallas market.
“This area is growing very quickly in Texas, and we believe this location is a great fit to add units,” said Tim Arpin, Scooter’s Coffee Vice President of Franchise Sales, in a statement. “We are so excited to welcome Wendy and Brett Wells.”
