The new Scooters Coffee location at the intersection of Duff Avenue and Lincoln Way in Ames will be open just in time for the new year, according to owner Randy Mumm.

A soft opening of the coffee shop is scheduled for Tuesday, Dec. 31. Mumm said a grand opening event will be planned later, and will take place in late January or early February.

According to Mumm, the grand opening will likely include a number of incentives and rewards available on the Scooters phone app.

The new location broke ground in August. Mumm said the late December opening is about a month past the usual 90 day building plan for the contractors, but the schedule is now down to an hour by hour timeline.

Baristas for the location have already been trained, Mumm said, and most of the equipment for the inside of the shop has already been delivered and set up.

Only a few tasks are left to complete before the opening, Mumm said. While some of the exterior details like painting may have to wait for warmer weather in the spring, he said landscaping and other outdoor finishing touches will be completed this week thanks to the mild weather.

Fortunately we have this beautiful weather helping us out as much as it can, Mumm said.

The coffee shop offers a drive-thru window for quick and easy coffee runs, which is a staple of Scooters stores. When asked what benefits a Scooters Coffee can offer to the Ames community, Mumm had a simple answer.

Amazing drinks, amazing people, amazingly fast, he said.
