Dutch Bros Comes to Chicagoland

Dutch Bros Coffee, a leader in the drive-thru beverage category, is set to debut its fun-loving brand in the Chicago suburbs, with its new Melrose Park location opening on Thursday, May 14. The location at 1931 N Mannheim Rd will be open from 5am-10pm Sunday-Thursday and 5am-11pm Friday and Saturday. To celebrate, customers can get a free keychain with any drink purchase on the day of the opening, while supplies last!

“Opening in the Chicago area has always been a dream for us at Dutch Bros, and Melrose Park is just the beginning,” said Allie Lahti, Local Market Lead at Dutch Bros Coffee. “We’ve already felt so much love from this community, and we’re so grateful to be here. Our crew is stoked to bring the energy and start serving our customizable drinks in Melrose Park!”

As Dutch Bros continues to grow across the Midwest, the Melrose Park shop marks an exciting first step in bringing its signature energy and people-first experience to Chicagoland.

The beloved coffee company has already opened over four shops in Illinois, including locations in Urbana, Fairview Heights, Mt Vernon and Edwardsville. Dutch Bros is committed to establishing meaningful relationships throughout the region with plans for additional shops in communities such as Rockford, New Lenox and Buffalo Grove, slated to start serving their neighborhoods this summer.

Dutch Bros Coffee was founded in 1992 when two real-life bros bought a double-head espresso machine, cranked up the stereo and started experimenting with 100 pounds of coffee beans. A typical experience at Dutch Bros includes upbeat music, energetic broistas (Dutch Bros’ version of baristas) and outstanding speed, quality and service. Dutch Bros serves handcrafted specialty coffee, smoothies, freezes, teas, lemonade, an exclusive Dutch Bros Rebel® energy drink, Myst Energy Refreshers™ and nitrogen-infused cold brew coffee.

In addition to serving up drinks that are guaranteed to satisfy, Dutch Bros works to create a massive difference one cup at a time through partnering with local organizations who are focused on enriching their communities.
