The Coffee Wars are intensifying in the QSR space, and real estate is at the center of the battle.

• Dutch Bros is planning 160+ new shops in 2025 after a strong Q2.

• 7 Brew continues its rapid climb, with franchise agreements for 200 more locations across key states.

• Chick-fil-A is entering the specialty coffee scene with its new Daybright concept, launching this fall in Georgia.

• Luckin Coffee is making its U.S. debut in Manhattan, bringing a tech-driven model to the market.

• Meanwhile, Starbucks is closing underperforming stores as part of a $1 billion restructuring, focusing on stronger-performing assets.

The takeaway: drive-thru coffee concepts are expanding at a pace that is reshaping the QSR landscape. Real estate professionals are watching closely to see who will come out on top in the Coffee Wars.

Get Ready, Phoenix!

Accelerated Development Services is pleased to announce the Valley's newest premier restaurant and retail destination in the Town of Gilbert – San Tan Crossing!

Positioned along Loop 202 at Williams Field Road, this 21-acre parcel sits directly adjacent to San Tan Village, a 1.2 million square foot open-air super-regional lifestyle center owned by Macerich. The surrounding area features major retailers such as Macy's, Dillard's, Harkins Theatres, Barnes & Noble, Best Buy, Nordstrom Rack, Living Spaces, Ashley HomeStore, and more as well as a recently announced Whole Foods.

This 21+ acre site is one of the last prime undeveloped retail parcels in the Phoenix metro. Its strategic location at the heart of high-income neighborhoods and explosive growth makes it a prime expansion opportunity for upscale restaurants and retailers that typically target Biltmore, Arcadia, Paradise Valley, and Scottsdale.

More updates to come on this exciting project! If you’d like leasing information connect with Dave Cheatham and Darren Pitts at Velocity Retail Group. We would love to meet you next week at ICSC Las Vegas. For more information, call 602-682-8118.

Today, we raise our cups. ☕

Accelerated Development Services is proud to stand with our friends at Dutch Bros for Drink One for Dane—an annual event that honors the legacy of Dutch Bros co-founder Dane Boersma and helps raise funds and awareness for ALS research.

We’ve had the privilege of partnering with Dutch Bros to develop locations across the country, and through that journey, we've witnessed firsthand the heart and energy that drives their brand. It’s not just about coffee—it’s about community, connection, and doing something bigger.

So today, stop by your local Dutch Bros, grab your favorite drink, and know that every sip supports a cause that truly matters. This year, the Dutch Bros Foundation is donating $1 million to the Muscular Dystrophy Association (MDA) to support ALS research and care .

Here’s to great partners, great purpose, and great coffee.

At Accelerated Development Services, we believe in supporting initiatives that uplift our communities. That's why we're excited to highlight Dutch Bros' annual Dutch Luv® event, running from February 1 to 18, 2025. During this period, $1 from every Dutch Luv® featured drink sold will be donated to local food organizations, directly benefiting those in need in our neighborhoods.

This year's featured drinks include the Chocolate Covered Strawberry Mocha - a velvety strawberry mocha topped with Soft Top® and heart sprinkles - and the Strawberries & Cream Rebel, a dreamy fusion of strawberry and sweet cream blended with Dutch Bros’ exclusive Rebel energy drink, also finished with Soft Top® and heart sprinkles.

On February 14, Dutch Bros will extend their generosity by donating $1 from every drink sold to local charities, making it a perfect day to enjoy your favorite beverage while supporting the community.

We encourage everyone to visit their local Dutch Bros during this time to enjoy these special drinks and contribute to a worthy cause. It's a small act that can make a big difference in our community.
