Dutch Bros Coffee, the national chain of drive-thru kiosks, is expanding with its first proposed location in North Florida in St. Johns County. Dutch Bros is known for their exceptionally friendly service and variety of drinks including flavored coffees, smoothies, teas, and energy drinks. Matthews | DCCM is providing due diligence, construction plans preparation, landscape design, irrigation design, permitting, and construction administration.

Matthews | DCCM prepared a Site Investigation Report for the development of the chain’s 950 square foot, drive through/walk up only coffee shop on US1 N in the Palencia neighborhood of St. Augustine. We identified and coordinated with larger development team on potential issues with the proposed site, building design and signage based on SJC’s Specific Commercial Development Guidelines as well as the Palencia Architectural Review Board (ARB) and Palencia Unified Signage Plan (USP) requirements.

Following the success of this project, Matthews | DCCM continues to assist Dutch Bros. at identifying potential locations for its expansion throughout NE Florida.
