The change comes roughly one year after CEO Christine Barone, an Arizona native, joined the company.
'Over the past several months, we have seen the functional and cultural advantages of having more of our field support roles working together in one place. To support the next phase of Dutch Bros' growth, we're relocating additional roles to our new Phoenix office and making strategic changes to the structure of several teams,' the company said in a statement to KOIN 6 News. 'Bringing more people together will allow us to better serve our customers and crews across the country. With these changes, the Phoenix office will become our official HQ.'
However, the company said their original roasting facility will remain in Grants Pass, Oregon.
'Additionally, through the Dutch Bros Foundation, we'll continue our long-standing commitment to uplifting and supporting the Southern Oregon community,' the company said.

Grab 30% of a Sleek EDC Knife and LED Lights This Father's Day
The latest car news, reviews, and features. Practical gear outfitter Coast was established about a century ago, introducing Oregon fishermen to a specialty blade for filleting 50-pound salmon. Today, Coast makes some of the best-value pocket knives and compact flashlights that are perfect for everyday carry duty, no matter what you do for work. For Father's Day (and from now through June 30) you can snag some great gear at a deep discount. No need to wait for your kids or spouse to be gift-shopping for you—check out Coast's site and get something in the mail for yourself. Its products are all pretty reasonably priced, but the discount code FATHERSDAY30 knocks 30% off, putting quite a few items in the Coast catalog into impulse-buy territory. You get free shipping if your order's over $75, too. I've been carrying this Coast Founder's Series Select Titanium tanto-blade knife for a couple of weeks now and been loving it. The titanium handle construction gives it a super lightweight but high-end feel, and the flip-open action is smooth and satisfying. It's been ripping its way through cardboard, rope, cable ties, and all the other random things I find myself piercing with my pocket knife, no problem. But the slim profile is my favorite design feature. The three-inch blade's plenty big enough to be versatile, but when folded, this knife only takes up about as much room as a pen, fitting easily into the mini-pockets of my jeans and compact holsters in my work pants. The blade comes with a little cleaning cloth and a presentation box. Andrew P. Collins Tucks perfectly into into tiny pockets and pen-sized holsters. Andrew P. Collins It's normally $99.99, down to about $70 during the Father's Day sale. You still need to spend a few more bucks to get free shipping, but luckily, Coast also has some nice lighting accessories you could use to finish building out a nice little new EDC loadout. Coast The XT10R 280-lumen penlight will also fit in a tiny pocket, and it's USB-C rechargeable for convenience. It has three brightness settings and strong construction without weighing you down. Perfect for poking around dark places where you don't necessarily want to dangle your smartphone. That's normally $34.99, just about $27 with the discount. Coast If you need more extreme illumination but still want something with a slim profile, check out Coast's Slayer-series flashlights. They're over 1000 lumens, and some models are equipped with a laser pointer. And with a magnetic base, you can clamp it to a piece of truck frame and have it locked in place while you're working. No more counting on your kid to hold the light steady! They start at $79.99, currently on sale for about $58. Coast Another high-powered lighting option is Coast's RL35R headlamp. Also over 1000 lumens, it offers plenty of brightness while keeping your hands truly free—you don't even need to touch it to turn it on and off because it's equipped with voice-activated controls. A headlamp is essential for pretty much any automotive project—no matter how well-lit your garage is, there are still dark corners of an engine bay. That's also $79.99 list, $58 on sale. Coast Finally, if you're looking for scene lighting rather than daily carry gear, the EAL55R 3000-lumen camp lantern can light up the inside of your tent or a camp table area easily. Multiple modes and different colors change the ambiance or deter insects, and it can last up to 10 nights of lighting on a charge. That lists at $69.99 and will be about $50 with the discount code. It might be a little late to get stuff shipped in time for Father's Day, but there's still plenty of time to get a great deal on some practical gear from Coast. Our team's hard at work, testing tools, parts, and shop equipment. Let our trials and experience be your guide to mastering The Garage. The Garage svg]:stroke-white [&>svg]:fill-white -top-[1px]>

Brokers Suggest Investing in Dutch Bros (BROS): Read This Before Placing a Bet
When deciding whether to buy, sell, or hold a stock, investors often rely on analyst recommendations. Media reports about rating changes by these brokerage-firm-employed (or sell-side) analysts often influence a stock's price, but are they really important? Let's take a look at what these Wall Street heavyweights have to say about Dutch Bros (BROS) before we discuss the reliability of brokerage recommendations and how to use them to your advantage. Dutch Bros currently has an average brokerage recommendation (ABR) of 1.25, on a scale of 1 to 5 (Strong Buy to Strong Sell), calculated based on the actual recommendations (Buy, Hold, Sell, etc.) made by 14 brokerage firms. An ABR of 1.25 approximates between Strong Buy and Buy. Of the 14 recommendations that derive the current ABR, 11 are Strong Buy and two are Buy. Strong Buy and Buy respectively account for 78.6% and 14.3% of all recommendations. Check price target & stock forecast for Dutch Bros here>>> While the ABR calls for buying Dutch Bros, it may not be wise to make an investment decision solely based on this information. Several studies have shown limited to no success of brokerage recommendations in guiding investors to pick stocks with the best price increase potential. Do you wonder why? As a result of the vested interest of brokerage firms in a stock they cover, their analysts tend to rate it with a strong positive bias. According to our research, brokerage firms assign five "Strong Buy" recommendations for every "Strong Sell" recommendation. This means that the interests of these institutions are not always aligned with those of retail investors, giving little insight into the direction of a stock's future price movement. It would therefore be best to use this information to validate your own analysis or a tool that has proven to be highly effective at predicting stock price movements. Zacks Rank, our proprietary stock rating tool with an impressive externally audited track record, categorizes stocks into five groups, ranging from Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy) to Zacks Rank #5 (Strong Sell), and is an effective indicator of a stock's price performance in the near future. Therefore, using the ABR to validate the Zacks Rank could be an efficient way of making a profitable investment decision. Although both Zacks Rank and ABR are displayed in a range of 1--5, they are different measures altogether. The ABR is calculated solely based on brokerage recommendations and is typically displayed with decimals (example: 1.28). In contrast, the Zacks Rank is a quantitative model allowing investors to harness the power of earnings estimate revisions. It is displayed in whole numbers -- 1 to 5. Analysts employed by brokerage firms have been and continue to be overly optimistic with their recommendations. Since the ratings issued by these analysts are more favorable than their research would support because of the vested interest of their employers, they mislead investors far more often than they guide. On the other hand, earnings estimate revisions are at the core of the Zacks Rank. And empirical research shows a strong correlation between trends in earnings estimate revisions and near-term stock price movements. In addition, the different Zacks Rank grades are applied proportionately to all stocks for which brokerage analysts provide current-year earnings estimates. In other words, this tool always maintains a balance among its five ranks. Another key difference between the ABR and Zacks Rank is freshness. The ABR is not necessarily up-to-date when you look at it. But, since brokerage analysts keep revising their earnings estimates to account for a company's changing business trends, and their actions get reflected in the Zacks Rank quickly enough, it is always timely in indicating future price movements. In terms of earnings estimate revisions for Dutch Bros, the Zacks Consensus Estimate for the current year has remained unchanged over the past month at $0.61. Analysts' steady views regarding the company's earnings prospects, as indicated by an unchanged consensus estimate, could be a legitimate reason for the stock to perform in line with the broader market in the near term. The size of the recent change in the consensus estimate, along with three other factors related to earnings estimates, has resulted in a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold) for Dutch Bros. You can see the complete list of today's Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy) stocks here >>>> It may therefore be prudent to be a little cautious with the Buy-equivalent ABR for Dutch Bros.

Battery manufacturer Powin files for bankruptcy months after landing $200M loan
Battery manufacturer Powin filed for bankruptcy on Wednesday. The Oregon-based company said it has more than $300 million in debt. The Chapter 11 filing will let the company continue operating while it restructures its debt. Powin manufactured grid-scale batteries using lithium-iron-phosphate (LFP) cells from China. Powin had been searching for alternative domestic suppliers, but the supply chain wasn't sufficiently mature, Jeff Waters, the company's former CEO, told Bloomberg in April. The company laid off nearly 250 employees earlier this month, and just 85 remain, less than a fifth of what it started the year with. Alongside the bankruptcy filing, Waters was replaced by Brian Krane, Powin's chief projects officer. Powin was a survivor of the first clean tech boom over a decade ago. The company was taken private in 2018, and it received $135 million in growth equity in 2022 from investors including Energy Impact Partners, GIC, and Trilantic Energy Partners. More recently, it secured a $200 million revolving credit facility from KKR. In recent years, Powin had grown alongside the boom in grid-scale battery storage, ranked third in the U.S. in terms of installed capacity and fourth worldwide. The company did not say what spurred the sudden rise in debt, though given its reliance on Chinese LFP cells, tariffs may have played a roll.
