Scooter's Coffee, 7808 Garners Ferry Road: 14 September 2025 3 comments
Restaurant models come in waves, for instance crab-themed seafood places, and there has been a wave of coffee drive-throughs lately, to include 7Brew, Clutch, Hard Bean, The Human Bean & Canal Coffee. Scooter's was part of that wave and opened here on Garners Ferry Road in 2023, part of a number of local openings as reported by The State.
The closing note on the drive-through doesn't really give any details, but a non-official Reddit posting suggests that only stores owned by WalReedBev Co are affected, and that does match the names given by The State.

I think it's part of a trend where '3rd places' (places people can gather that aren't work or home) are disappearing and it's played a role in why loneliness issues are on the rise (of course COVID hasn't done this situation any favors)...

WalReedBev Co is the same company who used to own the Marco's Pizzas in town.

I think these drive-thru coffee places were part of a trend of not wanting customers to "hang out" inside coffee shops and fast food restaurants anymore. A smaller building is cheaper to operate, and the employees probably like mental/emotional barrier between themselves and the customers.
Recently, though, cafe and restaurant food seems to be more expensive overall, and I think customers want an atmosphere (even a casual one) that justifies the cost.
