More than 3,000 people in the Annapolis Bayridge community signed a petition saying they wanted a drive-through at the local Zoo Coffee Shop, owner Doug Henderson said.

“After I had the shop lease under construction, I found out drive-throughs were only allowed for pharmacies and banks” in the city, Henderson said at an Annapolis City Council meeting this week. “I have mothers from Edgewater driving 20 minutes away to a Starbucks with a drive-through just so they don?t have to get out of the car in the rain or cross the road with four kids.”
