7 Brew Coffee, renowned for its energetic service and extensive customizable drink menu, is making significant strides in its national expansion. The brand is set to open its first drive-thru coffee stand in Weslaco, Texas, at 905 N. Texas Blvd. Simultaneously, a new location is underway in Bay County, Michigan, at the intersection of Wilder Road and North Euclid Avenue. These developments mark a pivotal moment in the company’s growth trajectory.
The Weslaco location, which saw its structure delivered on-site this week, is anticipated to open later this year. This new stand will bring approximately 50 jobs to the area, adding to the brand’s already impressive workforce of over 850 stands nationwide. The Bay County site, meanwhile, is set to feature multiple drive-thru lanes and digital menu boards, enhancing the customer experience.
The 7 Brew Experience
7 Brew is more than just a coffee stand; it’s a beverage destination offering over 20,000 unique drink combinations. From coffee and 7 Brew Energy™ to smoothies, shakes, and teas, the menu is designed to cater to a wide range of tastes. Customer favorites like the original Blondie®, a caramel and vanilla breve, showcase the brand’s commitment to bold flavors and fast service.
The brand’s success can be attributed to its innovative approach to drive-thru service. With prefabricated modular structures averaging roughly 510 square feet, 7 Brew locations are built with double drive-thru lanes and no indoor seating. This design allows for quick construction and efficient service, setting a new standard in the industry.
Expansion and Growth
7 Brew’s expansion is part of a broader statewide rollout in Michigan. The Bay County stand joins other locations in Midland, Saginaw, and Flint, extending the chain’s regional footprint. The brand’s rapid growth is fueled by significant investment, including a growth equity investment from global investment firm Blackstone in February 2024.
On June 15, 2026, 7 Brew celebrated the opening of its 777th location nationwide in San Antonio, Texas. This milestone highlights the brand’s impressive growth from just 38 drive-thru stands in January 2023 to over 750 locations across 38 states. Each new location represents a meaningful local hiring push, with 7 Brew stands typically employing an average of 60 local crew members.
Innovation and Technology
7 Brew continues to innovate with the launch of its nationwide mobile ordering application on August 12. This digital tool complements the brand’s drive-thru format, offering customers the convenience of mobile ordering and digital pickup. The application is part of 7 Brew’s commitment to enhancing the customer experience through technology.
As 7 Brew continues to expand, it remains focused on delivering fast service, bold flavors, and a welcoming customer experience. With its unique drive-thru model and extensive menu offerings, the brand is poised to become a dominant force in the beverage industry.
