## Story

Valley Center, KS - Scooter’s Coffee, best known for its amazingly fast drive-thru, specialty coffee, and baked-from-scratch pastries, added a new location at 126 East 5th Street in Valley Center, Kansas. To celebrate, the drive-thru location will be hosting a Grand Opening on Friday, September 3, where customers can earn 50 bonus Smiles when they pay with the Scooter’s mobile app!

With the app, customers earn 3 “Smiles” for every dollar spent, and once they reach 180 Smiles, they earn a free drink. All customers start in the Scooter Doodle status level, with perks that include a free drink on their birthday and surprise rewards, exclusive to the mobile app only. After earning 500 Smiles, customers move into the Caramelicious® status level with additional perks.

To pay with the app, customers simply need to link a credit card and tap “Pay in Stores” from the home screen. Then, if they choose to tip, they can select a custom amount or percentage prior to scanning their app. Customers also have the option to pay with cash or a gift card and still earn loyalty through the app by using the “Scan to Earn Loyalty” Only QR code.

The drive-thru location is owned by Sarah and Ryan Kromer. “Our family is so blessed to be able to open a Scooter's location in Valley Center,” said Kromer. “We are grateful to be a bright spot in our customer's day! We love having the opportunity to create an amazing experience for each life we touch through our drive-thru window. Those personal connections are more important now than ever! We'd also like to thank the Valley Center community for welcoming us with open arms. It's truly a joy to be able to serve this community!”

Scooter’s Coffee is a drive-thru franchise that has been serving world-class coffee for more than 20 years. Its signature drink is the Caramelicious®, and the menu features an array of specialty espresso beverages, single-origin coffee, fruit smoothies, Red Bull Infusions, Cold Brew, baked-from-scratch pastries, and savory breakfast options.
