Peet's Coffee & Tea Ready To Grind In Solon

The Kruse Drive location is the first of 90 new stores in the Midwest and East Coast.

Peet's Coffee & Tea held a closed VIP Tasting on Wednesday, July 31 to showcase the first of 18 new stores in Ohio.

Peet's officially opens its Kruse Drive location Thursday, Aug. 1 and the Solon store is the first in its Midwest expansion. You can find the store's hours here.

It's also the first store in the U.S. to have a drive-thru window, according to CEO David Burwick.

"In terms of the order within Ohio, Solon just came up number one," Burwick said. "It's a great location."

He said the former Caribou was one of the locations that had the best construction schedule and gave them a pilot for starting drive-thru service. 

Peet's opened its first store in Berkeley, CA in 1966. Solon is the first opening of 18 around Cleveland and Columbus in the coming months.

Over the next year 90 new stores will be opening in Ohio, Pennsylvania, Michigan and other areas of the Midwest and East Coast.
