A new Dutch Bros Coffee shop could be coming to the corner of Ohio 741 and West Alex Bell Road in Miami Twp.

The coffee chain aims to open a drive-thru coffee location at 5858 N. Springboro Pike in front of Meijer. Its menu centers on customizable coffee drinks (hot, iced or blended), energy drinks called Rebels, and a variety of teas, lemonades, shakes and smoothies.

Dutch Bros also offers seasonal specialties and light snacks such as muffin tops and cookies.

Last week, the project took a step closer to reality when the Miami Twp. Zoning Commission approved a final development plan submitted by RDS DBRE LLC for a small building with drive-thru lanes, parking and landscaping.

The plan is slated to go before Miami Twp. Board of Trustees at its regularly scheduled Jan. 6, 2026 meeting.

If approved, “construction is anticipated to start mid to late spring and will be finished before the end of summer.”

The coffee chain, which was founded in a pushcart in Grants Pass, Oregon in 1992 by brothers Dane and Travis Boersma, has expanded to 1,081 locations across 24 states as of the end of September, according to the Dutch Bros.

It describes itself as one of the fastest-growing brands in the quick-service beverage industry.

Dutch Bros’ first Miami Valley store opened in September at 7922 N. Dixie Drive in Butler Twp. near the southeast corner of North Dixie Drive and York Commons Boulevard.

Dutch Bros Coffee is planning to build its second area location at 220 E. Dayton-Yellow Springs Road in Fairborn

The coffee chain is planning a location at 1141 Brown St., Dayton, near the University of Dayton campus, but an official opening date is yet to be announced.
