SAN JOSE \u2014 Dutch Bros Coffee is eyeing another empty retail site in San Jose that the trendy chain may convert into a drive-through cafe.<\/p>\n

The coffee chain<\/a> has filed a proposal \u201cto construct a new Dutch Bros drive-through\u201d at 5506 Monterey Road in South San Jose, documents filed with city planners state.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is an excellent location for Dutch Bros,\u201d said David Taxin, a partner with Meacham Oppenheimer, a San Jose-based commercial real estate firm. \u201cThis is going to be a tremendous opportunity for them.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Monterey Road proposal represents a fresh attempt by Dutch Bros<\/a> to open a new coffee outlet<\/a> in San Jose, where the company appears to be in expansion mode.<\/p>\n

\u201cI can see Dutch Bros coming to many, many spots in Santa Clara County,\u201d Taxin said. \u201cThey will open a dozen stores in the South Bay if they can find the locations they want.\u201d<\/p>\n

The deal is also a reminder that a growing number of empty retail spaces once operated by merchants that are defunct or downsizing are being picked up by a new generation of retailers and other types of companies.<\/p>\n

The 5506 Monterey location was previously a Hollywood Video<\/a> rental and sales store. Hollywood Video\u2019s owner, Movie Gallery, filed for a Chapter 7 bankruptcy in 2010 to liquidate and shutter all of its assets, including all of the Hollywood Video stores.<\/p>\n

In addition to the Monterey Road site, Dutch Bros\u2019 other San Jose plans include a former Wendy\u2019s restaurant location at 2624 South Bascom Ave. in southwest San Jose and a one-time Burger King spot at 2170 Monterey Road.<\/p>\n

Besides the three San Jose sites that Dutch Bros Coffee<\/a> is contemplating, the beverage chain also has opened a location at 301 East Tenth St. in Gilroy, a September 2025 launch that marked the company\u2019s first coffee shop in Santa Clara County.<\/p>\n

\u201cDrive-through sites are not easy, but Dutch Bros is motivated to do deals in the South Bay,\u201d Taxin said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"(Google Maps) 5506 Monterey Road, an empty former video rental and sales building in South San Jose.
