Seattles Best Coffee Enters Dallas/Fort Worth with Ground-Breaking Speed
Dallas/Fort Worth one of the fastest growing and most populous markets in the country1 was selected as the first market for the multi-store expansion of Seattles Best Coffee drive-thru following the exciting launch of the concept in Seattle last fall.
Our new drive-thrus are designed to create a different kind of coffee culture one that combines the quality and passion of a coffeehouse with speed, convenience and value, said Sica. This concept is for coffee drinkers who are purchasing coffee outside of cafes at places such as convenience stores, gas stations and fast food restaurants2. This is our opportunity to give time-pressed coffee drinkers a better cup of coffee and a better breakfast.
The new locations opened in Dallas/Fort Worth with speed and efficiency, thanks to a new small footprint design and innovative real estate strategy. Using this model, the brand significantly cut its market entry time, reduced initial investment costs and developed locations that previously were not suitable for a traditional sized coffee shop. The 10 locations opening overnight on May 20 were built in DeSoto, Texas, before being transported on flatbed trucks to their current locations across Dallas/Fort Worth.
More Seattles Best Coffee Locations to Open Late Summer
Seattles Best will offer a better cup of coffee at even more convenient locations starting in late summer 2013. Four new drive-thrus will open in Dallas/Fort Worth at the following locations:

In total, the 10 new stores employ approximately 150 full- and part-time partners who underwent intensive training for more than 30 hours each to prepare to provide fast, friendly service worthy of Seattles Best for the synchronized opening.
