Perk up, java lovers! Caribou Coffee is opening in north Fargo

FARGO — North Fargoans and North Dakota State University students will soon have another place to get a jolt of java.

Caribou Coffee announced that they will open their latest Fargo-Moorhead location on Thursday, June 8, at 1207 19th Ave. N., near 19th Avenue’s intersection with North University Drive and not far from the Fargodome.

The full-service coffeehouse will offer indoor and outdoor dining spaces and a drive thru lane. In addition to its beverages, the store will also carry breakfast sandwiches, baked goods and snacks.

The Minneapolis-based firm said the grand opening will be held Friday, June 9, with special offers that day and through the weekend. The ribbon cutting for the store will be held at 10 a.m. Friday.

In its Thursday, June 1, news release, the company said that for every visit during its grand opening weekend (Saturday and Sunday, June 10-11) it will donate $1 to Make-a-Wish North Dakota to help grant wishes to children with critical illnesses in Fargo and across the state.

In addition, customers who use the Caribou Coffee app June 9-11 will be able to enjoy a buy one, get one 50% off offer.

Hours are Monday through Friday 5:30 a.m. to 7 p.m. and Saturday and Sunday 6 a.m. to 7 p.m. The company said it is still hiring workers.

The new Caribou has been brewing for a year. In June 2022, city building permits indicated that Caribou would be tearing down a Pizza Hut that had been at that address for a number of years and building its new chalet-style store.

The Pizza Hut had closed in September 2020.

Caribou Coffee was founded in 1992.

As of March 28, Caribou Coffee has 330 company-owned, 141 non-traditional and 294 franchise locations in 11 countries. The company is also a craft roaster and retailer of specialty bagged coffee, K-Cup Pods and ready-to-drink products.

Non-traditional stores are often smaller and located in malls, food courts, on college campuses or in airports or offices. Some businesses trademark them as “express.”

Caribou Coffee is part of the portfolio of Panera Brands, which include Panera Bread, Caribou Coffee and Bagel Brands. Each company is independently operated.
