The estimated $750,000 project is expected to start construction on Dec. 30 and finish by May 19, 2027. As always, don&#8217;t take the completion date as the opening day. There&#8217;s always one hiccup or another when it comes to opening a business.<\/p>\n<p>Unless I&#8217;m missing another location, this technically would mark Dutch Bros&#8217; second coffee shop inside Houston&#8217;s core. The first opened at 2301 University Blvd. near Rice University in October 2025. The chain has largely been concerned with Houston&#8217;s suburbs like Katy, Humble, Sugar Land and Baytown to name a few.<\/p>\n<p>The first Dutch Bros opened in 1992 in Grants Pass, Ore. The coffee chain is entirely focused on the drive-thru experience. Customers can pick from a variety of hot and cold beverages from the store window or drive-thru lane. Today, the chain counts more than 1,000 stores nationwide.<\/p>\n<p>That template seems to have worked for a bunch of other businesses too. In Atascocita, along a stretch of West Lake Houston Parkway near FM 1960, there is a trio of small-format beverage stores: Dutch Bros, Swig and HTeaO (Though the latter has an area you can walk in). Abbott Frozen Custard adopted a building with a similar footprint along the same road, but it closed last year.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The TDLR listing calls for a 986-square-foot freestanding Dutch Bros at 5005 Richmond Ave., near Loop 610 and&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":233938,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[7],"tags":[1703,1704,56,58,57],"class_list":{"0":"post-233937","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-houston","8":"tag-chronfood","9":"tag-chronstaff","10":"tag-houston","11":"tag-houston-headlines","12":"tag-houston-news"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/233937","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=233937"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/233937\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/233938"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=233937"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=233937"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=233937"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
