Dutch Bros Locations: Every State, City & What’s Opening in 2026

Dutch Bros crossed the 1,200-shop mark in spring 2026, and the map looks very different from the one most websites are still showing. A lot of pages still cite “900+ stores in 18 states,” a figure that went out of date more than a year ago. The current count of Dutch Bros locations sits at 1,203 across 25 states as of May 19, 2026, with another 181 shops scheduled to open before the year ends. This guide lays out where those shops actually are, which states and cities hold the most, which parts of the country are still waiting, and how to find the closest one in under a minute. Every number here carries the date it was measured, because in a chain growing this fast, an undated figure is close to useless.

Dutch Bros at a Glance

How Many Dutch Bros Locations Are There in 2026?

The short answer is 1,203, measured on May 19, 2026. The longer answer is that the number moves almost every week, which is exactly why so many sites get it wrong.

Here is the trajectory. The company closed out 2025 with 1,136 shops spread across 25 states. Management then guided to 181 new openings during 2026, which would put the chain somewhere near 1,300 by December. Beyond that, the stated target is 2,029 shops by the year 2029 — a goal that would nearly double the current footprint in three years.

That pace is unusual for a coffee chain, and it comes from a specific structural choice: Dutch Bros builds and owns its shops rather than franchising them out. Growth is funded from the balance sheet and executed by internal regional operators, which makes expansion slower to start but far more consistent once a market is entered. It also means the company controls exactly where the next pin drops on the map.

Dutch Bros Locations by State

Twenty-five states currently have at least one shop, but the distribution is heavily weighted. The ten largest markets account for well over ninety percent of the total, while the newest states often hold just a handful of shops each.

The top ten figures are exact counts as of May 19, 2026. Smaller markets are marked with a tilde because they turn over fastest — a single opening can shift a state by ten percent.

California — 236 Locations

California holds the largest share of Dutch Bros locations at roughly one in five shops nationwide. Sacramento is the densest single city in the state with 17 shops, reflecting how early the Central Valley was developed. Southern California came later and is still filling in, with recent entries pushing into San Diego County and the South Bay for the first time.

Texas — 228 Locations

Texas has closed almost the entire gap with California and by some counts has already passed it. San Antonio alone holds 31 shops, more than any other city in the country. Fort Worth, Dallas, Houston and Austin all carry substantial clusters, and Texas continues to absorb a large share of each year’s new builds.

Oregon — The Home State

Oregon is third with 157 shops, which is remarkable given the state’s population. This is the home market, where the brand has had thirty years to saturate. Medford carries 12 shops, Portland and Salem 10 each, and Grants Pass — where the whole thing started — still has a shop on the original site.

Fast-Growing Markets

Arizona has grown to 99 shops with Tucson carrying 16 of them. Colorado sits at 62, anchored by 13 in Colorado Springs. Tennessee reached 37 and now serves as the operational base for eastward expansion. Kansas, Missouri and Florida are the newer entries, each still in the early build-out phase where openings come in quick succession.

Cities With the Most Dutch Bros Locations

City-level density tells a different story than the state table. Some of the heaviest concentrations of Dutch Bros locations are in mid-sized cities rather than major metros.

Notice that Medford, a city of under 90,000 people, ranks above Portland. Vancouver, Washington outranks Seattle. This is the signature of the company’s build strategy: rather than planting a few flagship shops in a big city, it saturates a trade area until a drive-thru is convenient from almost any direction. Salem, Boise, Phoenix and Denver all follow the same pattern just outside the top ten.

States Where Dutch Bros Hasn’t Arrived Yet

Twenty-five states have shops, which means twenty-five do not. If you are searching from the Northeast, most of the Midwest, or the Mid-Atlantic, the honest answer is that there is no shop near you yet.

New York, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Michigan, Virginia, Maryland, New Jersey and all of New England remain entirely unserved. Georgia sits in an interesting position — surrounded by active markets in Tennessee, Florida and the Carolinas, but without its own shops so far.

The expansion pattern has been geographically contiguous rather than scattered. New markets tend to border existing ones so that supply, staffing and regional operators can stretch outward. On that logic, Georgia, Arkansas, Nebraska and the remaining Gulf states are more likely near-term additions than anywhere in the Northeast. The company does not publish a forward map, so treat any specific prediction with caution.

New & Upcoming Dutch Bros Locations in 2026

This is the part of the map that changes fastest. Alongside the 181 planned organic openings, 2026 opened with an acquisition that added an entire region overnight.

The Clutch Coffee Bar Acquisition

In January 2026, Dutch Bros acquired Clutch Coffee Bar, a drive-thru coffee chain operating in North and South Carolina, for roughly $20 million. The deal brought about 20 shops into the network in a single move.

It is a notable shift in method. Every previous market entry was built from the ground up, one shop at a time. Buying an established regional operator gave the company an instant Carolinas footprint along with existing sites, staff and local knowledge — a much faster route into the Southeast than breaking ground on twenty separate builds.

Florida & the East Coast Push

Florida is the clearest example of a market moving from first shop to real network. After debuting in the greater Orlando area, the state has continued to add shops, with Titusville scheduled for the second quarter of 2026 and Panama City set to become the first location in the Panhandle. North Port extends the reach into southwest Florida.

Taken together with Tennessee and the Carolinas, the eastern half of the map is now a genuine operating region rather than an outpost.

How to Track Grand Openings

There is no public master list of upcoming builds. The three sources that actually work are the Dutch Bros app, which pushes notifications for new shops in your area; the official website, which adds a shop page shortly before opening; and local news outlets, which usually report permit filings and construction well before the doors open.

How to Find a Dutch Bros Near You

Any list of individual shops published on a third-party site goes stale within weeks. The reliable approach is to use a live source, and there are three of them.

Official Store Locator

The store locator at dutchbros.com/locations accepts a city, a state or a ZIP code and returns nearby shops with addresses and current hours. It is the authoritative source — a shop appears there before it appears anywhere else, and it disappears when a shop closes or relocates.

The Dutch Bros App

The app, available for iOS and Android, is the fastest option if you are already on your phone. It shows nearby shops with live hours, handles rewards, and is the only place to check whether mobile ordering is enabled at a specific shop. If nothing appears, check that location services are switched on for the app in your phone’s settings — this is the single most common reason the shop list comes back empty.

Google Maps & Apple Maps

Searching “dutch bros near me” in Google Maps or Apple Maps gives you distance, drive time and turn-by-turn directions in one step. Hours shown in mapping apps are usually accurate but occasionally lag the app, so treat the app as the tiebreaker.

What to Expect at a Dutch Bros Location

Sources disagree on this, so here is the straight version.

Drive-Thru, Walk-Up or Seating?

Dutch Bros is built around the drive-thru. The overwhelming majority of shops are drive-thru-first, and a meaningful share are drive-thru only with no way to order on foot at all. Some shops add a walk-up window, usually in denser urban or campus-adjacent spots where foot traffic justifies it. Indoor seating exists at only a small number of shops and should never be assumed.

The practical takeaway for anyone travelling: plan on needing a vehicle. If you are on foot and want to be certain, check the individual shop page on the official locator, which notes whether a walk-up window is available. This is the detail most guides to Dutch Bros locations get wrong, and it is the one most likely to leave you standing in a parking lot.

Store Hours (Including 24-Hour Shops)

Most shops open at 5:00 AM and close between 10:00 and 11:00 PM, often running an hour later on weekends. A small number of shops operate around the clock, with 24-hour locations reported in Las Vegas and Phoenix.

One honest caveat: hours listed online do not always match reality. Customers regularly report arriving at a 5:00 AM opening time to find a shop not yet open, usually due to staffing. If you are making a specific early trip, the app is more current than any third-party listing, including this one.

Ordering at Your Local Dutch Bros

Order Ahead & App Ordering

Mobile ordering through the app lets you place an order in advance and choose a pickup spot — either the drive-thru lane or the pickup window. Payment goes through Dutch Pass, a gift card or a one-time card entry.

Three limitations are worth knowing before you rely on it. First, Order Ahead is not enabled at every shop; availability rolls out shop by shop, and the app is the only way to confirm. Second, once an order is placed, the pickup location cannot be changed. Third, orders cannot be transferred between shops — if you select the wrong one, the order stays there. Given how many markets now have several shops within a few miles, it is worth confirming the address on the confirmation screen before tapping through.

Delivery Availability

Dutch Bros does not run its own delivery service. Orders are fulfilled through third-party platforms including DoorDash, Uber Eats and Grubhub, with Postmates available in select areas. Coverage varies shop by shop, delivery hours generally follow store hours, and platform fees apply on top of menu prices. If delivery does not appear for your address, it usually means the nearest shop has not enabled it rather than that you are outside the radius.

Dutch Bros vs Other Drive-Thru Coffee Chains

Against the national giants, Dutch Bros is still a small chain by raw count — but that comparison hides how it competes.

Competitor figures are rounded approximations; the Dutch Bros count is exact as of May 19, 2026.

The national numbers are not the right lens. Within its home markets, density is what matters — in Medford, Sacramento or San Antonio, the local footprint is competitive with anything else on the road. The chain is not trying to be everywhere at once; it is trying to be unavoidable in the places it has already entered.

The First Dutch Bros Location

The chain began on February 12, 1992, when brothers Dane and Travis Boersma spent $12,050 on an espresso machine and a single pushcart and set up in downtown Grants Pass, Oregon. The name honoured their Dutch immigrant grandparents.

Four more carts followed, and the first drive-thru opened in 1994 — the format that would define everything after it. By 1996 the company was roasting its own coffee, sourcing beans from El Salvador, Colombia and Brazil.

The original site is still in operation and was later purchased outright by the company. If you want to see where it started, the shop stands at 903 NE D St in Grants Pass, a few blocks from the spot where the first cart was parked.

Can You Open Your Own Dutch Bros?

No. Dutch Bros stopped selling franchises in 2017, and every shop opened since then is company-owned. There is no franchise package, no territory purchase and no investment route in from the outside.

Shops are run by regional operators, and those positions are filled internally. The established path starts as a Broista behind the window, moves through shift lead and management, and eventually into an operator role. It is a career track, not a purchase.

There is also no public form to request a shop in your town. Site selection is driven by traffic counts, demographics and real estate availability, and the company evaluates markets on its own schedule. Watching the app and local permit news is the only real way to see one coming.

Shop counts on this page reflect data current as of May 19, 2026, and are reviewed quarterly. Because the chain opens new shops most weeks, the official store locator and the Dutch Bros app remain the final authority on what is open near you right now.
