Monroe 7 Brew prepares to open with free drinks for a week
Seven Brew employees, Sammy Spain, Orlando Griggs, and Scarlett Trami, prepare free drinks for businesses.
7 Brew continues its rapid expansion, with the Arkansas-based chain nearing 800 stores nationwide and 27 new drive-thru coffee stands scheduled to open this month.
The company, known for its drive-thru-only format and employees known as “brewistas,” told USA TODAY it plans to open stores in more than a dozen states in July. This growth comes just weeks after Seven Brew opened its 777th stand in San Antonio, Texas, continuing its surge to add more than 500 stores since 2023.
Founded in 2017 in Rogers, Arkansas, 7 Brew grew to 38 stores by 2023 and quickly added locations across the U.S.
Unlike traditional coffee shops, each 7 Brew location features a two-lane drive-thru. There is no service window as staff take orders and deliver drinks directly to customers outside their cars.
“Everything is done in the ‘lanes,’” the company told USA TODAY on July 8.
Customers can choose from seven beverage categories including coffee, energy drinks, soda, tea, lemonade, smoothies and shakes.
The company already opened a location in Cornelia, Georgia this month. Fort Wayne, Indiana. Kalamazoo, Michigan. North Augusta, South Carolina. St. Peters, Missouri. and West Monroe, Louisiana.
