Dutch Bros Inc. has submitted a draft Registration Statement on Form S-1 to the
Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") relating to the
proposed initial public offering of its common stock. The number of shares to
be offered and the price range for the proposed offering have not yet been
determined. The initial public offering would potentially take place after the
SEC completes its review process, subject to market and other conditions.
The
company cautiously announced the
registration for the IPO is being made pursuant to, and in accordance with,
Rule 135 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities
Act"), and shall not constitute an offer to sell, or the solicitation of
an offer to buy, any securities. Any offers, solicitations or offers to buy, or
any sales of securities will be made in accordance with the registration
requirements of the Securities Act.
Dutch Bros Coffee was founded in 1992 by Dane and Travis
Boersma. After three generations in the dairy business, the brothers decided to
use changes in the industry as motivation to branch out and try something new.
The bros bought a double-head espresso machine, cranked up the stereo, threw
open the barn doors and started experimenting with 100 pounds of beans.
“One of the most rewarding things in this change of
occupation was going from smelling cow manure to smelling coffee,” said Dane.
“You’d open the bag, and it was like heaven.”
Dutch Bros strives to be a force for good through
outstanding customer service and killer coffee. The company is continuing to
grow, sharing the Dutch luv and opening new shops throughout the nation.
Through the Dutch Bros Foundation and local franchisees,
Dutch Bros donates several million dollars to support its customers, local
communities and nonprofit organizations.
