Their Brand Promise is simple and often recited to franchisees and employees - "Amazing People, Amazing Drinks... Amazingly Fast!"

Scooter's is known for their specialty coffees and baked-from-scratch pastries, all served fast from their drive-thru window.

"Our signature drink is the Caramelicious, and the menu features an array of specialty espresso beverages, single-origin coffee, fruit smoothies, Scoot Infusions, Cold Brew, baked-from-scratch pastries, and savory breakfast options," a spokesperson told the Thread. "Scooter’s also recently released its first-ever ready-to-drink canned flavored lattes!"

A Scooter's spokesperson said this store will be a drive-thru kiosk model and their target opening date is sometime in August.

The new store is expected to create around 15 new jobs, and Scooter's is hiring now at their website, scooterscoffee.com.
