Human Bean representative Hannah Maynard said the location is set to open in July or August.
The Human Bean opened its first drive-thru espresso stand in 1998 in Ashland, Oregon.
It expanded to surrounding cities in Southern Oregon and began franchising the brand and system in 2002.
The Human Bean brand currently has more than 200 locations open or under development in 23 states.

The site is at Dunn Avenue and Haverford Road, west of Interstate 95.
Dyne Development LLC of Little Rock, Arkansas, is the developer.
Dyne Hospitality Group is the largest Tropical Smoothie Cafe franchise in the brand, with 90 projected to be open by year-end.
