Scooter’s Coffee Recognized for Its Remarkable Growth

Scooter’s Coffee opened 155 new locations last year — by December 31, there were 555 Scooter’s Coffee kiosks across America, representing a 38.8% growth. The company is pacing at the same rate for 2023 and expects to open its 700th store this fall.

“It’s very satisfying to see all our hard work paying off,” says Scooter’s Coffee President Joe Thornton. “We’re on a mission to bring Scooter’s Coffee to every corner of America. You may not have heard of us yet, but it’s only a matter of time before we’re your go-to coffee shop.”

Based in Omaha, Nebraska, Scooter’s Coffee offers customers responsibly sourced coffee served by dedicated teams from their signature red-roofed drive-thru kiosks. The brand, known for its fast, friendly service, specializes in artisan espresso drinks, fruit smoothies, and baked-from-scratch pastries and features its signature drink, the Caramelicious®.

Scooter’s Coffee’s rapid growth has also earned it a spot on the Inc. 5000 list for 2023. The prestigious list ranks private, independent companies based on percentage revenue growth over the previous three years. This is Scooter’s Coffee’s fourth appearance on the list since 2017. During that time, Scooter’s Coffee’s revenue has grown by an amazing 267%.

With over 700 stores operating across 33 states and commitments to open more, Scooter’s Coffee® is in the midst of a strategic growth phase across the nation. The U.S. coffee market is an estimated $48 billion industry, and with a 664-foot proven kiosk model, Scooter’s Coffee is striving to become the No. 1 drive-thru coffee franchise in the nation.
