I recently heard what I thought was a little rumor about a potential Caribou Coffee location opening in Cloquet!

It turns out that, while there hasn't been an update on this location in awhile, it was in the works a few years back.

I was trying to find out if it was still happening to no avail - but that led me to a very shocking fact: there are hundreds of Caribou stores in the state of Minnesota.

I knew there were a lot but was shocked at the exact amount. It's even more staggering when you look at the rest of the country in comparison.

In Minnesota, there are nearly 300 Caribou Coffee locations. There are 296 to be exact, and possibly 297 if this Cloquet location comes to fruition - which hopefully it will.

There are locations all over the state from Duluth, of course, to St. Paul and just about everywhere else in between. That is a lot of Caribou Coffee locations. You can never have too much iced coffee!

Wisconsin also has quite a few but doesn't come anywhere near Minnesota with a whopping 51 locations. That's not too shabby!

Even Florida has a handful of Caribou locations. I always think of it as a northern Minnesota thing and always forget it can be found all over the place. Now I really want a cold press coffee!
