The Owensboro City Commission on Tuesday approved annexing property on East Parrish Avenue that will soon house Scooter’s Coffee.
As first reported by Owensboro Times in August, Scooter’s Coffee is planning two locations in Owensboro — the first at 2805 East Parrish Avenue.
On Tuesday, Commissioners approved annexing both 2101 and 2115 East Parrish Avenue, which combined contain approximately 1.515 acres.
According to a municipal order also approved Tuesday, the incentive includes reimbursing the property owners “in the amount of one hundred percent (100%) of the total ad valorem (excluding school tax), net profits, and general fund occupational tax revenues derived from the property located therein, over a designated five (5) year period.”
City Manager Nate Pagan said it is the City’s standard annexation incentive agreement.
The Scooter’s menu includes an array of specialty espresso beverages, single-origin coffee, fruit smoothies, Red Bull Infusions, Cold Brew, baked-from-scratch pastries, and breakfast options.
The building will be a “standalone, drive-thru only kiosk” according to a Scooter’s spokesperson.
The second Owensboro location and one in Henderson have yet to be determined, “but should begin construction within the next two years after locations are finalized,” according to the spokesperson.
Founded in 1998 by Don and Linda Eckles in Bellevue, Nebraska, Scooter’s Coffee roasts coffee beans at its headquarters in Omaha. The Scooter’s Coffee Brand Promise is “Amazing People, Amazing Drinks… Amazingly Fast!”
