Dutch Bros, a coffee parlor that also serves tea, energy drinks, food, and more, opened today directly across from A-West. 

The chain’s newest location officially opened today, November 17th, at 5:00 a.m. The business is one of the most popular coffee chains in the United States, and is extremely well-liked among students. Additionally, with the grand opening coming before Christmas season, when holiday drinks and deals alike are released, the store is expected to be even busier. 

Many students are excited for the grand opening; Freshman Braedon Wahlmeier says he is ”excited to go to Dutch Bros after school and get drinks.” There are some concerns about traffic, as the location is located right by one of the exits to the school, where car congestion can already be heavy. This could lead to longer wait times and busier roads.

Despite potential complications, the atmosphere around the opening is still mostly positive, as evidenced by the large number of people who flocked to the store this morning. The restaurant will likely serve students for years to come.
