About Scooter's Coffee
Seeing the success of the specialty-coffee industry in California, Don and Linda Eckles returned to their Midwestern roots and opened their first drive-thru coffeehouse in 1998 in Bellevue, Nebraska. They named it Scooter's based on a nickname one of their daughters had earned while playing softball. They began franchising Scooter's Coffee in 2001, and later added frozen yogurt to the menu at some locations alongside their coffee.
