Drive-thru beverage brand 7 Brewhas reached 600 locations nationwide following a year of rapid expansion and strategic leadership changes.
The Arkansas-based company nearly doubled its footprint in 2025, opening over 280 stands to grow from 321 locations at the start of the year to more than 600 across 38 states. The brand, which launched in 2019 with just 14 stands, attributes the growth to its franchisee-powered model and focus on high-speed service.
“This has been a monumental year of growth for 7 Brew and it’s a true testament to the one-of-a-kind experience that our customers love,” Chris Dawson, president of 7 Brew, said in a company press release.
The year also marked a shift in physical strategy as the brand moved beyond its traditional drive-thru model. 7 Brew debuted its first walk-thru locations, including a site inside a Walmart Supercenter in Springdale and another in the university district of The Ohio State University.
To support the scaling effort, the company added three members to its executive team: Chief People Officer Stephanie Quillen, Chief Supply Chain Officer Chris Held and Chief Financial Officer Matt Dunnigan.
The brand reported record-setting traffic during its “7 Days of 7 Brew” promotion in December, which became the most successful sales period in the company’s history.
As part of its “Hero of the Year” program, 7 Brew awarded $10,000 to Stephanie Brown of Buford, Georgia. Brown leads the Friends Ü Need Club, an organization that supports adults with special needs.
7 Brew offers more than 20,000 drink variations, including coffee, infused energy drinks, sodas and teas.
