This week a new sign was posted in front of the empty lot at 9299 4th Street north, just across the street from Taco Bell. Brothers Group Construction is the contractor that according to Building Permits filed with the City of St. Petersburg on April 21st, 2022 will construct a Scooter’s Coffee location.
They operate a franchise model and this will be the first location in the Tampa Bay Market. They finally fill a long held void in the neighborhood. Seeing some life in the empty lot will be a nice upgrade. Starbucks now has some competition.

According to Scooter’s Coffee location finder they operate 15 locations in the southeast US. 11 locations around Florida.




About Scooter’s Coffee
In 1998, Scooter’s Coffee was born. Co-founders Don and Linda Eckles began an amazing journey when they opened their first drive-thru coffeehouse in Bellevue, Nebraska. Their keys to success: find a great location and stay committed to high-quality drinks, speed of service, and a BIG smile. Scooter’s Coffee is fortunate to have over two decades of success due to its commitment to the original business principles and company core values. Amazing People, Amazing Drinks…Amazingly Fast!®
The very first Scooter’s Coffee location was known as “Scooter’s Java Express.” We named it “Scooter’s” after reviewing a list of options including “Scooter.” The name fit well with our mission to keep customers happy by helping them “scoot in and scoot out” quickly.
The Caramelicious® is our signature drink! If you’re new to Scooter’s Coffee, you can’t go wrong with ordering this rich, velvety, caramel gem.
In 1998, Linda Eckles bought happy face stickers and placed them on every drink she sold. It was her way to say, “Have an amazing day!” Customers loved the added touch so much they often commented on how it made their day a little more special.
