Dutch Bros Plans New Double-Lane Drive-Thru in Odessa

Three colorful Dutch Bros Coffee drinks in branded cups

Plans for another Dutch Bros in Odessa call for a coffee stop at 1940 E. 42nd Street, where a new shop would replace an existing building. A state accessibility filing lists an estimated $550,000 construction cost for the 1,025-square-foot project, including two drive-through lanes.

The registered schedule runs from December 4, 2026, through May 4, 2027. Those dates describe the proposed construction window; The company has not confirmed an opening date for this location.

Another Dutch Bros in Odessa

Odessa customers already have a Dutch Bros at 4080 Faudree Road. The East 42nd Street project would give the brand another address in the city, with a compact building designed around drive-through service.

The scope calls for demolition followed by new construction, rather than a remodel of the current structure. Armet Davis Newlove Architects is listed as the design firm.

From an Oregon coffee cart to West Texas

Brothers Dane and Travis Boersma started Dutch Bros in Grants Pass, Oregon, in 1992. Its beginnings were modest: a coffee pushcart near the railroad tracks. The brand grew around quick service and drinks customers can make their own.

For customers visiting Dutch Bros in Odessa, the drink menu stretches beyond a morning coffee run. It includes iced and hot coffee, blended drinks, Rebel energy drinks, lemonade, tea, shakes and smoothies. Flavor choices, milk options and Soft Top toppings give customers plenty of ways to customize an order.

A familiar medical site gets a new chapter

The 42nd Street address previously housed MCH urgent care and later its Community Diabetes Clinic. The clinic announced a move in March 2026, and MCH now lists it at 840 W. Clements Street. The free clinic continues to provide initial diabetes screening and basic treatment for people without insurance or a primary care provider.

That relocation provides context for the proposed redevelopment. The filing identifies Ector County Hospital District as the property owner.

Private funding for Dutch Bros in Odessa

Although the filing carries a public-funds-or-public-land designation, its scope specifically says private funds will purchase the property from local government and pay for construction. It does not describe a publicly financed coffee shop.

The hospital district’s February 3, 2026 board agenda included consideration of selling 1940 E. 42nd Street. A final sale price and closing have not been independently confirmed.

Project TABS2027001009 is registered with the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation. For Odessa coffee drinkers, the proposal means another Dutch Bros option—and a different use for a recognizable stretch of East 42nd Street.
