A drive-thru coffee franchise is brewing a new location in a Chicago suburb.
7 Brew Coffee is expected to be built in Joliet at 2421 W Jefferson Street, according to construction plans. The drive-thru coffee stand will be 510 square feet, keeping with 7 Brew’s drive-thru-only model.
7 Brew first began in Rogers, Arkansas, with its seven original coffees. The rapidly growing coffee brand now has more than 300 locations across the U.S., including 13 in Illinois. The drive-thru stands serve a variety of specialty and classic coffee beverages, as well as smoothies, tea and energy drinks.
The brand has built a loyal following since its inception through friendly baristas, active social media presence, and a worthwhile rewards program. Over 95 percent of 7 Brew’s transactions come from loyalty members, Ad Age reports.
The upcoming Joliet shop comes from Who Brew LLC, a franchise group founded in 2023 that operates 7 Brew Coffee locations in the Chicago, Nashville, Pittsburgh and Kentucky markets.
