GRANTS PASS, Ore., USA – Dutch Bros Inc. has announced it intends to expand operations at its Phoenix, Arizona office. The Company anticipates providing further details on the expansion during its Fourth Quarter and Full-Year 2023 earnings call in mid-February.
“Dutch Bros is a brand built on relationships, whether they’re at the window or among our teams,” said Christine Barone, CEO and president of Dutch Bros.
“We appreciate the ability to bring more people together and look forward to harnessing what makes Dutch Bros so special by fostering even stronger connections with each other and our field crews.”
The Company anticipates shifting approximately 40 percent of its total support staff to its Phoenix, AZ office by January 1, 2025.
These roles are primarily strategic in nature and those that support day-to-day operations, a portion of which are already based in Arizona. Expanding operations in Arizona positions the Company’s support center closer to its center of gravity as the brand expands across the country.
“As we look toward our long-term objective of 4,000+ shops, strengthening our existing operations in Arizona positions us to compete for the talent we need to accomplish this ambitious goal.
In addition, Phoenix’s proximity to the nation’s 12th busiest airport provides significantly easier and faster access to our rapidly-expanding set of markets across the US, increasing connectivity,” said Barone.
“The Phoenix market is also one of the strongest in our system, where ‘Dutch Luv’ is embraced every day. We expect that by further establishing a support center in an area of strong culture, we will keep our customers and broistas top of mind as we grow.”
Dutch Bros began as a pushcart in 1992, in Grants Pass, Oregon, and as of December 31, 2023, the Dutch Bros system has grown to 831 shops (542 company-operated and 289 franchised-operated) across 16 states.
The Company expects to maintain a significant presence in Grants Pass, including its roasting facility and several support operations.
“Grants Pass is home and our connection here is a key part of Dutch Bros’ success,” said Travis Boersma, co-founder and executive chairman.
“Dutch Bros will continue to be connected to the community in a meaningful way through our roasting facility, HQ offices, the shops that operate in the area, and our local givebacks.”
