Dutch Bros opening first Kentucky location with special priced coffee

Kentucky, are you ready to try Dutch Bros Coffee? The Oregon-based chain, known for its passionate fans and upbeat “broistas,” is opening its first location in the state on Sept. 5 in Lexington.

The new spot at 234 E. New Circle Rd., in a former northside Sonic restaurant, also will have a grand opening on Sept. 7.

Coleman Davis, the regional operator of Dutch Bros for Lexington and Richmond, said the company is “super excited to be here and make a difference and put smiles on people’s faces.”

For grand opening day, Davis said, all medium drinks will be a special price of $3 for the entire day.

Dutch Bros giving back to the community

And Sept. 15 will be Buck for Kids Day; Dutch Bros will donate $1 from every cups old to Big Brothers and Big Sisters of the Bluegrass, Davis said.

“We are a people company first and a coffee company second,” Davis said. “Dutch Bros is a drive-thru coffee company dedicated to making a massive difference one cup at a time.”
