Shreveport, Louisiana — Scooter’s Coffee is making strides in northwest Louisiana with the recent addition of new locations in Shreveport and Bossier City. The latest outlet at 5835 North Market St. in Shreveport celebrated its grand opening on October 25th, marking a significant step in the company’s expansion efforts.
Another location is being developed on Hwy 1 North, led by developer John Rennie and his partner Brad Barre. The team is actively pursuing real estate in the Shreveport area, having acquired property in the 2000 block of West Bert Kouns Industrial Loop. Preparatory dirt work at the Bert Kouns site is expected to commence soon, with intentions to have the drive-thru operational by the end of the year. Their ambition extends beyond these two new sites, with a commitment to open five stores in the region, including a site at 1610 North Trenton St. in Ruston.
Southern Hills in Shreveport was selected for one of the new locations due to its recent development and its proximity to a hospital, likely enhancing foot traffic and customer base. Scooter’s Coffee shops serve an array of beverages including traditional coffee, specialty lattes, smoothies, teas, and sparkling sodas. In addition, a new seasonal drink, the Oatmeal Creme Pie Latte, developed in cooperation with Little Debbie, aims to compete with popular seasonal favorites, such as pumpkin spice.
For customer convenience, patrons can download the Scooter’s app to earn rewards and pre-order their drinks for a quicker drive-thru experience. The North Market location operates daily from 5:30 a.m. to 8 p.m., offering ample accessibility to coffee lovers in the area.
Founded in 1998, Scooter’s Coffee has expanded significantly, boasting over 840 locations in 31 states. The Caramelicious, one of its signature drinks, is also available across all sites. The burgeoning demand for coffee shops in the Shreveport-Bossier market has led the owners to contemplate additional future locations.
The new Bossier City location represents the second in the area, situated on Benton Spur, and will provide a similar menu that includes pastries and sandwiches. The company has emphasized the drive-thru model as a key component of its business strategy, focusing on delivering speed and convenience to its patrons.
