The wait is almost over for Dutch Bros fans in Chicago—the popular Arizona-based drive-thru coffee chain is gearing up to launch its first local outpost!
Here’s what we know so far.
Dutch Bros coming to Melrose Park summer

Rumors have swirled for months about a Dutch Bros coming to suburban Melrose Park.
Now, we have confirmation that the first local location is near completion and opening soon!
A TikTok shared by user @escrumches last week shows the building is currently under construction.
The video captures a one-day timeline of the construction, showing the Dutch Bros shop is rapidly developing.

While a grand opening date is still unconfirmed, the video suggests Dutch Bros Melrose Park could be open as soon as this summer!
The development comes amid a period of fast growth for the company, which recently opened locations in downstate Urbana and Crown Point, Indiana.
Dutch Bros has gained popularity across social media in recent times for its wide variety of coffee concoctions, energy drinks, and customizable flavors.
