Plans to open a second Dutch Bros Coffee in Maricopa might be over-roasted after the company iced out city developers in recent months.

Amid chatter the coffee shop will not open a second location, the city’s records department confirmed discussion between the city and Dutch Bros stopped in July.

“The communication dropped off, and no new documents were submitted to Development Services,” according to the city records clerk.

The next step would have been for Dutch Bros to submit a development review permit, Planning and Zoning Manager Rick Williams told InMaricopa in July.

“If they choose to move forward developing the site, they will have to submit for development review permit approval,” he said. “Once we have that official application then I’d be able to predict when it would go to [the Planning and Zoning] Commission for informational review.”

Representatives from Dutch Bros did not immediately respond to requests for comment.

News of the Oregon-based drive-thru coffee shop’s second location first emerged in July, when Dutch Bros submitted paperwork for the location on the northeast corner of Maricopa-Casa Grande Highway and Stonegate Road.

The location also was previously reserved for Chili’s Bar and Grill before the restaurant backed out of plans last year.
