The sun is just above the horizon. You're battling traffic. You need caffeine. But to actually get out of the car to get your jolt? Apparently that's too hard for some Dallasites, or at least that's what Seattle's Best Coffee is banking on.

Following the successful launch of a new small footprint drive-thru-only concept in Seattle last fall, Seattle's Best, a part of Starbucks, is expanding in Dallas-Fort Worth with 15 new stores.

In addition to coffee on the go, the new concept will offer "dashboard-friendly" food including egg sandwiches and pretzel melts, and sweet and savory pies.

A spokesperson for the company said the new stores are set to land in the Dallas-Fort Worth area this spring, but refused to share exact locations and timing for opening will be shared closer to the launch date.
