San Diego-based coffee shop chain Better Buzz Coffee Roasters has further expansion in mind. In the past two years, Better Buzz has doubled its store count from 12 to 24, with plans to double that number to 48 over the next year. The company is looking eastward toward Arizona and Nevada, along with opening more locations in Southern California.

Already in 2024, Better Buzz has opened three new locations: one in Laguna Hills, its 19th San Diego location in Oceanside and its first out-of-state location in Uptown Phoenix. The Phoenix location saw the 22-year-old brand’s most successful opening day on record.

Looking forward, Better Buzz has 12 new locations in the pipeline, including three in Las Vegas, with the first one debuting in September. The company also plans to launch six more locations in Phoenix, a third Orange County location and two more in San Diego.

“While we’re thrilled with our progress so far, we’re even more excited about our rapid growth for the rest of the year,” said VP of marketing Amanda Cameron. “We’re planning to keep the momentum growing, spreading the buzz to even more neighborhoods. Our goal is to expand north in Southern California with major concentration on the Los Angeles area to San Diego, as well as growing in Arizona and Nevada to make our famous Best Drink Ever more accessible.”
