A little coffee with those fries? Is it too much to ask for a little designer coffee and a tasty burger on the same corner? Apparently not according to Michael Heller, owner of Burger King, who recently gained city administrative approval to put a coffee drive-through on the same parcel as the existing fast food restaurant at Sixth and Webber streets.
According to Dawn Hert with the city, the building will be located on the corner of the property closest to the intersection and will include not only a drive-through window but a walk-up sidewalk window, as well. The plan will include some parking modification, new lane striping and landscaping.
Coffee, part 2: Goodwill is also incorporating a drive-through coffee shop on its lot development at the other end of Cascade Square. It will be attached to a retail operation. A drive-through restaurant near the Wells Fargo ATM kiosk will bring the building total on that property to three.
Hert noted that development activity is starting to increase in her office.
“Things are moving — they’re actually bumping — in the office,” she said. “We’ve had lots of inquiries.”
