Why Doesn’t Louisiana Have This Popular Coffee Spot?

Coffee is one of the most coveted commodities all over the world. The love for coffee goes beyond our morning pick-me-up, it has become an experience that so many of us enjoy with friends and family.

Growing up in a Mexican household one of our traditions is to gather around a table with your close family and friends and enjoy pan and cafe in the evening. Why do we sit down and have sweet Mexican bread and coffee late at night? I have no idea but it is one of my favorite things that the Hispanic culture does. Coffee is ingrained in every culture.

Are we all coffee enthusiasts? It is safe to say that we love coffee in America. According to Drive Research, a market research company, 73% of Americans drink coffee daily and 36% drink 3 to 5 cups of coffee daily. Over 51% of Americans drop by coffee shops at least once a week.

If We Have Such a Love For Coffee Why Isn't One of the Most Popular Coffee Shops in America in Louisiana?

Dutch Bros Coffee is a popular coffee spot all over America. It originally started as a pushcart by two brothers in 1992. As of June 30, 2024, Dutch Bros has 912 locations across 18 states. The drive-thru coffee chain plans to open at least 150 more locations in 2024. Dutch Bros could potentially have just shy of 1,000 locations by the end of the year. However, there are no plans for a Dutch Bros in Louisiana.

Why is Dutch Bros Skipping Over Loisinana?

Dutch Bros isn't just skipping over Shreveport, they have skipped over the entire state of Louisiana.

Dutch Bros doesn't just do coffee, they have their signature energy drinks that are called Rebels and are loved nationwide. We love a fast paced coffee shop. What does Louisiana have to do to get some Louisiana love?

The nearest Dutch Bros is in Longview, Texas.
