Scooter’s Coffee, which intends to open up to 16 locations in Northeast Florida, has two in progress.
Its first Northeast Florida location is at 151 Park Ave. in Orange Park.
In January 2022, Omaha, Nebraska-based Scooter’s Coffee said its goal is to open 1,000 stores by 2024, and that Northeast Florida is an essential part of that strategy.
Scooter’s offers espresso drinks, fruit smoothies and pastries.
Its signature drink is the Caramelicious, an espresso that features caramel sauce, frothy hot milk and whipped cream drizzled with caramel.
It also offers organic hot and iced teas.
