Building a
Coffee Empire
Founded in 1998 in Bellevue, Nebraska, Scooter's Coffee has grown to over 800 locations and is the fastest-growing drive-thru coffee franchise in America. The model is brilliantly simple: a small-footprint, drive-thru-only concept that delivers premium coffee with unmatched speed and friendliness.
Waterslake Capital is one of Scooter's largest multi-unit operators, with a 40-unit development agreement spanning three states. We currently operate 9 locations with 31 more in active development — building a regional coffee powerhouse one drive-thru at a time.
Our edge? We don't just open locations. We build cultures. Every barista is trained not just on drinks, but on connection. App tender rates above 40%. Line scooting under 3 minutes. These aren't aspirations — they're our standards.
