A new coffee spot is coming to Chambers. Prime Space Holdings, LLC, the City of Valley, and The Chambers County Development Authority have announced that Scooter’s Coffee, best known for its fast drive-thru, specialty coffee, and baked-from-scratch pastries, is set to open a new location on Fob James Drive in Valley, Alabama, according to a press release from CCDA. 

The drive-thru location will be owned and operated by Prime Space Holdings, LLC led by Kalpesh Bhandari. Scooter’s Coffee is a drive-thru franchise that has been serving world-class coffee for 25 years and has over 750 locations in 30 states across the nation. With commitments to build new stores in 30 states, the company plans to open many additional locations in 2024. 

Its signature drink is the Caramelicious®, and the menu features an array of specialty espresso beverages, Scooot! Energy Infusions, hot and cold brewed coffee, fruit smoothies, baked-from-scratch pastries, and savory breakfast options.

The new location represents an investment of approximately $1.3 million. Upon opening, approximately 12 new team members will join in full-time and part-time roles, supporting the local community with employment opportunities.

“We are excited to see another great franchise coming to Fob James Drive,” said Valley Mayor Leonard Riley. “This area is one we’re focusing on for continued growth and Scooter’s will play a big role in that development. I couldn’t be more excited about the success that we have had in the past year.”

“Scooter’s is going to be an amazing addition to the Valley area,” said franchisee Kalpesh Bhandari, with partner Vipul Patel. “We’re really excited about this because their products are top-notch, and their business model has proven to work well time after time. On top of that, we’ll be creating about 12 full-time and part-time jobs, which is fantastic for the local community. Working with their corporate team has been a great experience, and we can’t wait for everyone to experience this new brand in our area.”
