Glendale Planning Commission approved a conditional use permit for a proposed Dutch Bros in north Glendale allowing the coffee shop to have a drive-thru. The approval green lights the coffee chain to install its first location in north Glendale and second in the city, joining a shop near Westgate Entertainment District.
Bill Cantieri, director of design and development for Piazza Restaurant and Development who represented Dutch Bros in the Planning Commission’s Thursday, April 2 tele-meeting, said the Dutch Bros planned near 59th Avenue and Bell Road has been in the works for a long time.
“We are, first off, excited about a chance to put a second location into Glendale,” Mr. Cantieri said. “We have one store currently open in the entertainment district. That’s been very well received. And we’ve been looking for about five years, trying to find a spot along Bell Road, and we are thankful to finally find this opportunity.”
