Caribou Coffee will open its second Lake Norman-area store Wednesday, with plans for a third location soon.

Caribou's newest coffeehouse -- a drive-thru location -- will open at N.C. 16 and Commerce Drive, near Lake Norman Auto Sports in Denver, eastern Lincoln County, the Minneapolis-based chain announced Thursday.

Caribou will now have 14 stores in North Carolina, including one that opened in July in Mooresville. Several more will open in the state within months, Caribou officials said.

The coming-soon stores will include a Huntersville Birkdale location at 8909 Lindholm Drive, according to the Caribou online store locator map. The store will include indoor and patio seating, oven-warmed food and WiFi. No opening date has been announced.

Each day will feature a new offer highlighting menu items or giveaways, while supplies last:
