Clutch Coffee Bar sets a plan to open a new location in Charlotte, North Carolina on December 7, with a treat for the entire community to FREE drinks as well as host a Proceeds Day for Porter Ridge High School shortly thereafter.
Clutch Coffee has 14 locations in the Carolinas, growing fast to become a national destination for coffee lovers throughout the U.S with its friendly personalized service and community giveback programs. Loyal customers are excited to come back to where the company all started and open a new store in the Charlotte area at Indian Trail. To celebrate the occasion a Grand Opening party is scheduled for Saturday, December 7, where the community will serve free 16oz drinks all day (8am-8pm) to anyone that visits the store! Guests can try any drink; from their signature lattes, matcha, and real fruit smoothies, to fair trade coffee and teas, as well as seasonal favorites like pumpkin spice and peppermint bark mocha.
Known for its commitment to community and charitable campaigns, Clutch Coffee Bar focuses on more than just delicious drinks, and their opening in the Indian Trail will be no different. Clutch will be hosting a giveback day with Porter Ridge School next week, where 100% of all proceeds that day go directly towards supporting local educational initiatives. The fundraiser is part of the organization’s ‘Clutch Cares’ program which has donated over $110K to worthy causes, including most recently Hurricane Helene relief.
Co-Founder Darren Spicer says “We’ve received lots of requests to open another location in the Charlotte region, and we’re excited to offer our Indian Trail friends a taste of what makes Clutch so special with our community, coffee, and culture-centric approach”.
Drive-thru experiences can feel rushed and hollow, which is something Spicer wanted to tackle at Clutch Coffee Bar, a Carolinas-based coffee company he co-founded in 2018. “What happens with drive-thru is that we’ve become accustomed to [an experience] which is very transactional. The window opens, they take your money, the window closes, their back turns, and they’ll bring your drink back later,” he says. “That window never closes for us. We are focused on that relationship the entire time.”
