A Spokane, Wash.-based wholesale coffee roasting company will open its first retail drive-through here in Tucson. Waverly’s Premium Coffee Roasters will open Waverly’s Coffee and Espresso To Go just west of Park Place mall at 5755 E. Broadway within the next few weeks.

It will serve more than 100 different beverages, including a selection of non-coffee-themed options, teas, lemonades and energy drinks.

Brian Ellsworth, who founded the wholesale company in 2005 with Lisa Nuessle, said they chose Tucson because of its lack of drive-through options.

According to Ellsworth, there are 40 coffee stores in Tucson, but only 12 have drive-throughs for a metro area with 1 million people. Spokane has half the population but 160 coffee companies — and most have drive-throughs.

“This market is hurting,” Ellsworth said. “The goal is to open one and continue to open places until the market says it is saturated.”

Ellsworth said they hope to open five to 20 Waverly’s in Tucson, all drive-throughs only, within the next few years. The company is named after Ellsworth’s father, Waverly J. Ellsworth.
