According to its website, Scooter’s Coffee is one of the nation’s largest and fastest-growing specialty coffee drive-thru companies. It currently has more than 900 stores in 32 states as of March.
The company said they are targeting the Midwest to expand its footprint nationwide.
Scooter’s signature drink is its Caramelicious, a rich, velvety caramel latte.
The menu includes specialty espresso drinks, cold brew, fruit smoothies, breakfast sandwiches and pastries.
They use specialty coffee beans, roasted by affiliated company Harvest Roasting.
Scooter’s was founded in 1998 by Don and Linda Eckles in Bellevue, Nebraska.
