The Dirt: Dutch Bros. to open outlet on Pines and Sprague
A Dutch Bros. Coffee outlet is planned for construction near the northeast corner of Pines Road and Sprague Avenue in Spokane Valley.
This will be the seventh Dutch Bros. location in the Spokane area owned by Kevin and Kerry Parker. Kevin Parker said construction is expected to start in about two weeks for the new site at 20 N. Pines Road, behind a Denny’s restaurant. The stand will sit near a long-vacant Albertsons grocery store.
The Parkers plan for the Spokane Valley stand to open later this fall, with first-day proceeds to benefit a local charity, Kevin Parker said.
