The 154,400-square-foot cold storage distribution center will include 93,520 square feet of warehouse space and 8,000 square feet of office space. Designed to support temperature-controlled storage and distribution, the facility will feature a 43,200-square-foot freezer reaching -10° Fahrenheit, a 9,720-square-foot 36° Fahrenheit cold dock and refrigeration system, 20 loading dock positions, one drive-in ramp, 20 battery chargers, and 3,000 amps of electrical service. 

“This new distribution center represents an important investment in the future of Scooter’s Coffee and our ability to support continued growth across the region,” said Nick Jarecke, chief supply chain officer of Scooter’s Coffee. “ARCO has been a trusted partner to our team for several years, and by strengthening our cold storage and distribution capabilities, we are better positioned to serve our franchisees, maintain product quality, and support the speed and consistency our customers expect.”

Founded in 1998, Scooter’s Coffee is a drive-thru coffee franchise known for its specialty coffee drinks, smoothies, teas, and signature customer service. Headquartered in Omaha, Nebraska, Scooter’s Coffee continues to expand its footprint across the U.S. while remaining focused on quality, speed, and an exceptional customer experience. 

This facility will be the third such distribution center for Scooter’s Coffee in the greater Omaha area and the second largest in its supply chain network.

The facility is designed for long-term performance, efficiency, and scalability. The centralized distribution model will help improve operational efficiency by reducing transportation time, streamlining inventory management, and supporting consistent cold-chain logistics from this strategically located hub in the U.S.

This project builds on ARCO’s strong relationship with Scooter’s Coffee, developed over the past several years through successful project partnerships. With both ARCO and Scooter’s Coffee maintaining offices in their hometown of Omaha, the project also reflects a shared local connection and commitment to supporting continued growth in the region. ARCO’s partnership with Scannell Properties further strengthens the project team, reflecting a long-term relationship spanning more than 15 years.

“Our team is proud to partner on a facility that will play a key role in supporting Scooter’s Coffee’s growth and regional distribution network,” said Sam Stahnke, vice president of ARCO National Construction’s Omaha division. “With our shared ties to Omaha, long-standing partnerships, and specialized cold storage expertise, this project reflects ARCO’s continued commitment to delivering high-quality, highly functional facilities for food and beverage clients.”

As a national leader in food and beverage facility construction, ARCO continues to deliver specialized cold storage, distribution, and manufacturing environments that help companies meet evolving supply chain demands and support long-term growth.
