Dutch Bros, a popular Oregon-based coffee chain with 1,000 locations nationwide, opened its first North Carolina location this week in Morrisville.
The Thursday, Dec. 11, grand opening was met with intense traffic around the new location at Morrisville Parkway and Chapel Hill Road. Around noon Thursday, The News & Observer saw a long line of cars stretched from the Dutch Bros parking lot past the Sheetz a few storefronts down, blocking Morrisville Parkway’s right-most lane. There was a lengthy drive-thru line plus a crowd of people surrounding the walk-up window.
