Earlier this week, we reported on an upcoming initial public offering (IPO) that had the potential to be an impressive open.

This IPO is perhaps the most highly anticipated one in some time. As a fast-growing coffee chain out of Oregon, investors may be looking at Dutch Bros as a potential Starbucks (NASDAQ:SBUX) in the making.

Indeed, the company’s business models and modest starts share a lot of similarities. Brand value is everything in the quick service coffee space. And Dutch Bros has both the brand and business model growth investors seem to like.

Currently, Dutch Bros has 470 locations spread across the western U.S. However, should the company be able to utilize the capital markets to accelerate its growth, expectations are that this company could be a key competitor in North America and abroad for the likes of Starbucks.

Perhaps it’s too soon to tell Dutch Bros’ story. However, investors looking for a slice of the action have certainly piled into this stock today like it’s cheap.

Let’s dive into a few things investors may want to know about Dutch Bros as it begins trading.
