Dutch Bros Launches Columbus Expansion With West Side Store

The Oregon-based coffee chain entered the Columbus market Monday.

Dutch Bros opened its first local store at 5344 W. Broad St. in Prairie Township.

The West Side location serves as the anchor for a regional push that includes two additional planned sites.

The shop operates a drive-thru and a walk-up pickup window.

Customers can order from 5 a.m. to 10 p.m. on Sunday through Thursday.

Hours extend to 11 p.m. on Friday and Saturday.

The menu includes coffees, cold brews, teas, smoothies, and lemonades.

The chain also sells its signature Rebel energy drinks.

Dane and Travis Boersma started the business in 1992.

The brothers sold coffee from a pushcart in Grants Pass, Oregon.

The company has since expanded across the country.

The brand is known for customizable drinks and energetic customer service patterns that attract a steady following nationwide. The new Columbus site is part of a larger Central Ohio plan. Dutch Bros will open a second location at 5470 N. Hamilton Rd. A third store will open at 6175 Sawmill Rd. near Dublin. To mark the Monday opening, the shop gave away free keychains with drink purchases. The giveaway ended when supplies ran out.
