An opening date has not been announced, but construction has started on Scooter’s Coffee at 1732 South Highland Avenue.

Scooter’s purchased the property – the former home of Jamaica Me Tan & Jamaica Me Beautiful – from A&D Leasing of Jackson.

The American drive-through coffeehouse, founded and headquartered in Bellevue, Nebraska, has 800 plus in 29 states, and is currently the second-largest drive-through coffee chain and the fifth-largest coffee chain in the United States.

The menu includes hot and cold drinks, including coffee, tea, and smoothies; and food items, such as pastries, burritos, and sandwiches. It also has breakfast and kids menus. Its signature drink is the Caramelicious, an espresso drink with caramel sauce and whipped cream.
