The Huber Heights City Council meeting on June 9, 2025, focused on the potential approval of a new beverage franchise, which is rapidly expanding across the United States. The franchise, known for its extensive drink menu and quick service, currently operates over 300 locations and aims to hire between 60 to 70 employees in Huber Heights, contributing positively to local job growth.

During the meeting, representatives from the franchise highlighted their commitment to speed and quality, boasting over 20,000 drink combinations, including coffees, teas, and frozen beverages. They assured council members that their service efficiency would minimize wait times, typically averaging around three minutes, even during peak hours. However, some council members expressed concerns about traffic management, particularly regarding the potential for long lines during busy periods.

Council member Aniyah raised a question about the adequacy of the proposed stacking capacity of 14 vehicles, citing personal experiences of longer wait times at similar locations. Franchise representatives responded by emphasizing their ability to manage traffic effectively, noting that their order takers are positioned to monitor and adjust to the flow of vehicles.

The discussion also touched on traffic regulations, with council members considering the implementation of a no left turn sign at the franchise's exit to improve safety and traffic flow. City officials indicated that they would monitor the situation closely and make adjustments as necessary.

Overall, the meeting underscored the franchise's potential impact on the local economy and the importance of addressing traffic concerns to ensure a smooth integration into the community. The council is expected to continue deliberating on the approval in the coming weeks.
