Dutch Bros Coffee announces first Central Ohio location

Dutch Bros Coffee has announced plans to open its first Central Ohio location in Prairie Township, scheduled for late 2026. The new site at 5344 W. Broad St. will feature a drive-thru and walk-up window rather than traditional indoor seating.

This move marks the Oregon-based chain’s entry into the Columbus market, expanding its existing Ohio footprint which is currently concentrated in the Cincinnati and Dayton regions. Permit filings suggest further expansion in the area, with potential sites identified near Dublin, New Albany, and on the East Side of Columbus.
