Plans are underway for a second Shadrachs Coffee location in Oxford, with the Oxford Planning Commission approving a special exception for a drive-thru service. The new coffee shop will be located at 2405 South Lamar Blvd, near the recently built Oxford Self Storage. The city planning staff is currently reviewing the site plan.
• Drive-thrus are permitted in Traditional Neighborhood Business zones only with a special exception.
• The site will have two curb cuts, with the southern one designated as exit-only to manage traffic flow.
• The design includes 11 stacking spaces in a double lane and six in a single lane, similar to the existing West Jackson location.
• The city received two objections, mainly about potential traffic issues caused by the drive-thru.
This expansion matters as it reflects the growing demand for coffee shops in the area. It also highlights the balance between business growth and community concerns over traffic management.
