According to plans submitted to the City of Fargo, the location would sit east of I 29 and west of Fargo Shanley High School, adding a quick and convenient option for coffee lovers in the area.

West Fargo Announces Holiday Tree Pickup Dates 🎄

West Fargo residents can plan ahead as the city has scheduled holiday tree pickup for January 5 through January 8, 2026. Trees should be placed on the curb on your regular garbage day and must be free of bags, stands, and lights, as trees buried in snowbanks will not be collected. Wreaths are not included in curbside pickup, but both trees and wreaths, along with excess cardboard or garbage, can be dropped off at the Transfer Station before, during, or after the pickup window.
