Dutch Bros Inc., the 10-K for 2025

Dutch Bros operates and franchises drive-thru shops that serve hand-crafted hot, iced and blended beverages. It was founded in 1992 by brothers Dane and Travis Boersma, starting with a double-head espresso machine and a pushcart in Grants Pass, Oregon. As of December 31, 2025 it had 1,136 shops across 25 states, of which 811 were company-operated and 325 were franchise.

What it sells

Coffee-based beverages made up about 50% of the menu mix in 2025, measured by share of total sales. Espresso shots are pulled on La Marzocco machines, and the menu includes the company's own "Freeze" blended drinks and cold brew. About 25% of the mix is based on its own Dutch Bros Rebel energy drink, served blended or over ice with flavors and modifiers. The remaining 25% is teas, lemonades, smoothies and sodas, with a select variety of food. Customers add flavors and mix-ins such as protein milk, boba and soft top, and many drinks can be made sugar-free, dairy-free, caffeine-free or fat-free.

The shops

Approximately 85% of the business goes through the drive-thru and the remaining 15% through walk-up windows. The vast majority of shops have no lobby or seating, and almost all of their square footage supports making beverages. The company typically targets lots of at least 25,000 square feet to handle car volume. Legacy shops on the West Coast are about 500 square feet, current shops about 800-1,000 square feet with multiple drive-thru lanes served by one window, and endcap shops in strip centers about 1,000-1,200 square feet. The company opened 141 new company-operated shops in 2025.

Company-operated and franchise

Since 2017 its focus has been on company-operated shops, with all operators recruited from within the organization. Existing franchise partners still develop within their own operating areas, while new regions are opened with company-operated shops. Many franchise partners started out working in the shops as broistas. Among its stated aims are a "mid-teens" annual new shop growth rate and an expanded food offering in 2026 for the morning daypart.

The app

Dutch Rewards is an app-based loyalty program in which customers collect points to redeem for free drinks, and points generally expire after six months. In 2025 approximately 72% of all transactions were attributable to Dutch Rewards members, up from approximately 68% in 2024. Members can preload funds and pay through the app, a feature called Dutch Pass. Order ahead, launched in 2024, lets customers pick up at the walk-up window or in the drive thru.

Coffee supply

The company buys green coffee beans from Central and South America through third-party importers and exporters, and roasts all of its coffee at its own facilities in Grants Pass, Oregon and Melissa, Texas. The Texas roaster opened in 2024. Its Private Reserve coffee is a 100% Arabica three-bean blend. It typically holds approximately three months of green coffee bean inventory at its two U.S. ports of entry or its roasting facilities.

Read moreFree cash flow is operating cash flow less capital expenditure; the effective tax rate is income tax over pre-tax income; margins are the line over revenue. Gross profit is revenue less cost of revenue, and operating income is revenue less the company's own total costs, where the statement does not print those lines. Those four are arithmetic on the filed numbers; everything else is as filed.
