Scooter's Coffee has closed both of its locations in Loveland. The closures mark the end of the brand's presence in the city after its initial entry in 2024.
Why it matters
The closure of both sites concludes the local operations managed by owners David and Paula Novick. While the Loveland kiosks are shuttered, the brand maintains a presence nearby with one location still operating in Eaton.
Scooter's Coffee is currently the second-biggest drive-thru coffee chain in the nation. It competes in a crowded sector alongside Dutch Bros., which ranks first among drive-thru coffee chains.
The players
David Novick
David Novick was the owner and operator of the two Scooter's Coffee locations in Loveland.
Paula Novick
Paula Novick served as an owner and operator of both the Garfield Street and Eisenhower Scooter's Coffee shops.
The details
The Garfield Street location, situated near a Dutch Bros. coffee shop, closed in early 2026. The remaining Eisenhower location ceased operations in late October 2026, and the sites may eventually be utilized by the burger chain Burgr Burgr.
Timeline
Scooter's Coffee opened its first Loveland location in 2024.
A second location on Garfield Street opened in 2025.
The Garfield Street location closed in early 2026.
The Eisenhower location closed in late October 2026.
Market Landscape
This exit illustrates the hyper-competitive nature of the national drive-thru coffee chain market competition. The closure positions the brand to retrench while competitors like Dutch Bros. continue to expand their footprint in secondary markets.
Local customers will no longer be able to visit Scooter's Coffee at the Garfield Street or Eisenhower locations. Residents who enjoyed the brand can still find the nearest service point at the remaining location in Eaton.
The takeaway
The departure of these coffee kiosks creates a vacancy for new retail players like Burgr Burgr to move into the area. Consumers should verify the operating status of local chain kiosks to avoid arriving at closed storefronts.
