Dutch Bros opens second Fayetteville location downtown on Grove Street
Dutch Bros opened 117 Grove St. downtown on July 9, putting a second Fayetteville drive-thru on the map just two months after the Ramsey Street debut.
Dutch Bros opened its second Fayetteville shop at 117 Grove St. downtown on July 9, giving the city two drive-thru access points in just over two months. The first local Dutch Bros opened at 3619 Ramsey St. on May 3, and that debut drew a large crowd of locals, a sign the chain found a quick audience in Fayetteville.
The Grove Street store is built for speed, not lingering. Dutch Bros lists it as a drive-thru coffee shop with hours from 5 a.m. to 10 p.m. Sunday through Thursday and 5 a.m. to 11 p.m. Friday and Saturday. The menu stretches well beyond standard drip and espresso, with coffee classics, Nitro Cold Brew, handcrafted iced lattes, Rebel energy drinks, protein coffee, and a rotating lineup of seasonal drinks. That mix puts coffee next to energy drinks and custom cold beverages in the same lane, which has become the brand’s calling card.
The second Fayetteville opening also fits a broader North Carolina push that is moving faster than a typical single-market rollout. Dutch Bros’ state locator lists 11 locations in North Carolina, including two in Fayetteville, two in Mooresville, two in Winston-Salem, and single stores in Clemmons, Greensboro, Indian Trail, Monroe and Morrisville. The company, founded in 1992 by brothers Dane and Travis Boersma in Grants Pass, Oregon, describes itself as a high-growth operator and franchisor of drive-thru shops. Its 2025 annual report said Dutch Bros ended that year with 1,136 shops across 25 states and 154 net new units, while a June 2026 update put the chain at 1,234 U.S. locations.
Dutch Bros has also been using acquisitions to speed up its regional footprint. In January 2026, the company bought North Carolina-based Clutch Coffee Bar, a 20-store drive-thru chain in the Carolinas, adding an immediate foothold in a part of the country where drive-thru coffee already has a strong audience.
For Fayetteville coffee drinkers, the question is not whether Dutch Bros is growing. It is whether Grove Street changes the morning map or simply duplicates the convenience already offered on Ramsey Street. With two shops in two months, the brand has made its answer clear: the bet is on coverage, commuter traffic and a service model that treats coffee as something to be grabbed fast, not sat with long.
