Ground will soon be broken on two new coffee shops in Galesburg, and another two are in the works. Dame Fine Coffee recently secured property at the corner of East Main Street and Illinois Avenue where it has broken ground and plans to open a double drive-thru building around Thanksgiving. The Monmouth-based company has operated from a temporary coffee trailer on North Henderson Street since March, and is seeking a permanent home on the north side of town. Dame Fine Coffee owner Dillion Vancil tells WGIL if they don't build a drive-thru on its temporary site at 1819 N. Henderson St., they would consider partnering with another business to be inside an existing building. Vancil said, "We'll definitely have two locations in Galesburg." Meanwhile, the owner of 10 Scooter's Coffee stores around the Midwest plans to bring two more drive-thrus to Galesburg. Jeremy Music, who opened a Scooter's Coffee in Monmouth earlier this year, will locate the first drive-thru at the southeast corner of North Henderson and Sanborn streets. Scooter's has purchased and will soon demolish a vacant home and nearby former quick oil change shop at 1307 and 1317 N. Henderson St. to make room for the first Scooter's in Galesburg. Music said demolition and construction should start on Henderson Street in the next three to four weeks, adding Scooter's could be open by the end of the year. Music has identified a site for a second Galesburg store, but declined the reveal the location. Approaching 500 locations in the U.S., Scooter's Coffee serves customers from a 660 square foot drive-thru kiosk. Scooter's offers a wide variety of coffee drinks, smoothies, teas, quenchers, energy-drink infusions and breakfast items. Statistics from IBIS World report the US has seen a 2.4% growth in the number of coffee shops in the last five years. As of 2022, there are 65,410 coffee shops in the United States. Galesburg currently has eight coffee shops or drive-thrus, with more on the way. If you are counting, there are three Starbucks locations, along with locally-owned Innkeeper's Fresh Roasted Coffee, two Orange Cup Java Station locations, The Beanhive and Dame Fine Coffee.
