An Update On Dodo Coffee’s Flagship Location
Dodo Coffee
Dodo Coffee has completed interior framing at its flagship Wedington location in Fayetteville, marking a major construction milestone for the architecturally distinct building.
Built Different: The location’s timeline was extended due to the building’s custom design, but the team expects the finished space to be unlike anything in Northwest Arkansas.
Brewing Big Plans: At the same time, Dodo is also preparing a new roasting facility in Greenland with the capacity to produce up to 500 pounds per hour. The expanded operation will support wholesale partnerships, white-label programs, ready-to-drink beverages, and house-made syrups, with production expected to begin in early 2026.
