After announcing in October that a Dutch Bros Coffee location was coming to Grass Valley, the new store at 2094 Nevada City Highway had its official opening day Friday.
The new building is in the Fowler Shopping Center, and has a walk-up window as well as a drive-thru.
Dutch Bros staff member J.J. Alejandro said Friday morning that the store was off to a busy start, and that some customers were already waiting as the store opened at 5 a.m.
The store had a “friends and family day,” or soft opening, Thursday, said Alejandro, although he noted that word of the soft opening had spread quickly and Thursday was busy as well.
