According to Placer.ai, visits to Starbucks and Dunkin' plummet by a significant 60 percent in April 2020, while Dutch Bros. visits only dropped by 11.4 percent.
The modest drop was attributed to the chain's well-established drive-thru business model, which allowed minimal customer contact during transactions.
In the spring and into the early summer of 2020, Dutch Bros. saw its customer traffic surge by over 50 percent, while visits to Starbucks and Dunkin' remained below pre-pandemic levels.
