Dutch Bros Coffee will build a 986-square-foot store on a vacant lot at Call Field Road and Lawrence Road in Wichita Falls. Construction on the $1.250 million project is scheduled to start in January 2027 and finish in April 2027.
Why it matters
The lot was auctioned by the city in March 2022 after it became city property in 2011 when the intersection was realigned. The project brings a drive-through and walk-up coffee option to a site the city had restricted from uses such as gas stations, pawnshops and check-cashing businesses.
The 986-square-foot store is part of a $1.250 million project on land Desperado Investments LLC owns, which was bought at a city auction for $926,000 in 2022. The project's financing beyond the stated cost and the lot's final layout remain unreported.
The players
Dutch Bros Coffee
Dutch Bros Coffee is a drive-through coffee chain based in Tempe, Arizona, with more than 1,300 stores.
The details
Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation filings show Dutch Bros will build on part of the less-than-one-acre site, which the city posted restrictions for in 2022 before auctioning it on March 17, 2022. Smokestack Investments of Austin won that auction, and Wichita Appraisal District records now list Desperado Investments LLC as owner.
Timeline
2011: The city became owner of the lot when it realigned the intersection.
2022: The city posted a list of prohibited uses for the acreage.
March 17, 2022: The city auctioned the land, and Smokestack Investments won with a $926,000 bid.
January 2027: Construction on the Dutch Bros project is scheduled to begin.
April 2027: Construction is scheduled to be completed.
Market Landscape
Dutch Bros has grown to more than 1,300 stores, and this Wichita Falls location adds to that footprint with a compact drive-through format on a small urban lot. The project shows how chains are placing small-format drive-through stores on modest parcels in mid-size Texas cities.
Wichita Falls residents near Call Field Road and Lawrence Road will gain a drive-through and walk-up coffee option once the store opens. Customers can expect the new location to serve drive-through and walk-up orders from the 986-square-foot building.
The takeaway
Vacant urban lots that a city has auctioned can return to productive use through small-format commercial projects like this one. Residents tracking local development can watch the January 2027 construction start to confirm the schedule.
What happens next
Construction on the Dutch Bros store is scheduled to begin in January 2027 and be completed in April 2027.
