Dutch Bros Coffee Is Coming to Romeoville — And It’s Part of a Bigger Redevelopment

Custom Image

 

Romeoville is getting a new coffee option—and this one comes with a drive-thru.

Dutch Bros Coffee is coming to Romeo Towne Center at the southeast corner of Weber Road and Grand Boulevard, replacing the former PNC Bank site with a new commercial development.

The project is part of a growing wave of new businesses and investment around the Romeo Towne Center area, which is quickly becoming one of Romeoville’s more active redevelopment corridors.

Dutch Bros Is Coming to Weber Road

The new Dutch Bros will be built on the former PNC Bank property.

Plans call for the existing bank building to be demolished and replaced with two smaller commercial buildings. One will house a 1,200-square-foot Dutch Bros Coffee with a drive-thru. The second building will be approximately 2,200 square feet and is planned for another restaurant with its own drive-thru.

The identity of that second restaurant has not yet been announced.

Village officials reviewed the concept plans at the July 15 Village Board meeting, and the project is moving through the development process.

There is not yet a confirmed opening date, and officials have not announced when construction will begin.

What Can You Get at Dutch Bros?

If you're not familiar with Dutch Bros, the Oregon-based chain has built a following around its drive-thru-focused beverage concept.

The menu goes well beyond traditional coffee, offering:

  • Specialty coffees

  • Cold brew

  • Lattes

  • Energy drinks

  • Lemonades

  • Iced teas

  • Smoothies

  • Shakes

  • Sparkling sodas

  • Hot chocolate

The company is known for its upbeat drive-thru experience and extensive drink menu.

And Romeoville won't be the first Chicago suburb to experience the Dutch Bros craze.

Dutch Bros Is Expanding Across Chicagoland

Dutch Bros opened its first Chicagoland location in Melrose Park in May 2026, marking the chain's major entry into the Chicago suburban market.

That opening attracted significant attention and long lines, signaling strong interest in the brand's expansion into the region.

Since then, additional locations have been announced throughout the suburbs, including projects in places such as Elk Grove Village, Oak Park, Darien and other communities.

Romeoville is now joining that growing list.

But Dutch Bros Isn't the Only New Business Coming

The coffee shop is actually just one piece of the changes happening around Romeo Towne Center.

Village officials say TruGolf Links is also among the businesses that have recently announced plans to locate in the center.

Meanwhile, Madurai Kitchen, a family-owned Indian restaurant, is expected to open in the shopping center around Labor Day.

A new signalized entrance off Weber Road is also being developed to improve access to the center.

And VASA Fitness recently opened at Romeo Towne Center, adding another major business to the growing commercial destination.

That's a lot of activity for one area.

A Major Change for the Former PNC Bank Site

The redevelopment is especially notable because it transforms a longtime bank property into a more active retail and restaurant destination.

Instead of one large building, the plans call for two smaller commercial buildings with drive-thru uses.

For drivers traveling along Weber Road and Grand Boulevard, that means a completely different look for the corner.

Romeoville Mayor John Noak called the project another sign of reinvestment in the area, noting that the corner is becoming one of the village's most active redevelopment areas.

Why This Location Makes Sense for Dutch Bros

The intersection of Weber Road and Grand Boulevard gives Dutch Bros a highly visible location within a growing commercial corridor.

The drive-thru format also fits naturally into the area, particularly for commuters and residents looking for a quick morning coffee or afternoon drink without having to leave their vehicles.

The relatively small 1,200-square-foot building is another indication that the concept is designed primarily around drive-thru and quick-service traffic rather than a traditional large coffeehouse.

When Will Dutch Bros Romeoville Open?

That's the big question residents are asking.

There is currently no official opening date.

Village officials have said the development is still moving through the approval process, and developers previously indicated they were hoping to begin the process as soon as possible but were unsure whether construction would begin in 2026.

So while Dutch Bros is officially planned for Romeoville, residents will have to wait for additional construction and opening updates.

What This Means for Romeo Towne Center

The Dutch Bros announcement is another sign that Romeo Towne Center is becoming an increasingly active commercial hub.

With new fitness, dining, entertainment and beverage businesses coming into the area—and additional retail space still available—the center could continue to see more announcements in the coming months.

For Romeoville residents, that means more options close to home.

And for anyone who has been watching development along Weber Road, this is another project worth keeping an eye on.
