Dutch Bros’ parent Boersma Bros. is seeking to buy up to 51 Salad and Go locations in Arizona (and related leases in Nevada, Texas and Oklahoma) in a $105 million deal as Salad and Go files for Chapter 11 bankruptcy and plans to close all stores.

McDonald's has introduced its new drive-thru beverage chain called CosMc's, which aims to directly challenge Oregon-based Dutch Bros. The fast-food giant plans to open 10 locations by next summer, with one in a Chicago suburb and nine in Texas.

CosMc's features colorful, sugary, caffeinated beverages and aims to combat the "3 p.m. slump" between lunch and dinner. While Dutch Bros has a devoted following and ambitious expansion plans, its ability to reach its goals may depend on the success of McDonald's CosMc's concept.
