Dutch Bros Coffee has submitted a permit application for a new store at 628 Barnes Blvd. in Rockledge, Florida. The move would make it the chain's fourth location in Brevard County, joining existing spots in Melbourne and Titusville. The Oregon-based company filed the application on July 29, 2026, according to records reviewed by 321 Daily. The project is still under review by local officials, and no timeline for construction or opening has been announced.
The proposed Rockledge location would expand Dutch Bros' presence in the county, where it currently operates two stores in Melbourne and one in Titusville. The chain, known for its drive-thru model and specialty drinks like energy beverages and smoothies, has grown rapidly across Florida in recent years. The new store would be the first in Rockledge, a community with no Dutch Bros locations currently.
Dutch Bros has built a reputation for customer service and its signature drive-thru experience, which the company says has helped it attract a loyal following. The chain's expansion in Brevard comes as part of a broader strategy to increase its footprint in the state. Local officials have not yet commented on the application, but the review process typically takes several weeks.
If approved, the Rockledge store would join the existing locations in Melbourne and Titusville, which have become regular stops for residents and visitors. The company has not provided details about potential job creation or construction timelines. The permit application remains open for public comment, with a deadline for feedback set for August 12, 2026.
