Oregon coffee shop chain opening in Fort Myers, expanding in SWFL

Naples/Fort Myers/Charlotte

Coffee run: A chain of mostly drive-thru coffee shops founded in Portland, Oregon is opening a location in Fort Myers. Coffee Rush has leased a 0.58-acre property at 7490 Winkler Road. David Sepulveda with LQ Commercial Associates says the company is in the process of applying for permits and hopes to be open soon. The space, which will be about 700 square feet, will be mostly for drive-thru customers though there will be some limited seating outside. Coffee Rush first opened as a kiosk in 1992 and now has six locations in Portland. This will be it second shop in Florida though Sepulveda says the company is actively looking for more space in Southwest Florida. The other Florida shop is in Fort Lauderdale.
