Total net income reached $51.6 million compared to $38.4 million in the second quarter of 2025. Systemwide same-shop sales increased 5.8%, while company-operated same-shop sales rose 8.3%.

Strategic Footprint Expansion

Alongside earnings, Dutch Bros announced an agreement to acquire the real estate and site assets of up to 65 Salad and Go locations across Arizona, Nevada, Oklahoma and Texas. Closing in the third quarter of 2026, the strategic acquisition provides drive-thru locations slated for conversion into Dutch Bros shops starting in 2027.

Executive Commentary & Outlook

Management expressed confidence in the brand’s trajectory during the announcement.

“New shop growth is one of the most important drivers of our long-term strategy, and this potential site acquisition demonstrates how we’re investing to accelerate that growth,” said Christine Barone, Chief Executive Officer and President.

“These sites would expand our leadership position… where we’ve built strong brand awareness and see a significant opportunity to continue densifying our footprint.”
