7 Brew franchisee Motley 7 Brew, LLC, has multiple locations in the pipeline that are expected to open by the end of the year, Motley 7 Brew president Rick Nader told What Now Atlanta. The openings are part of a larger push toward a 55-unit expansion goal in Georgia for the franchise group.
Motley 7 Brew will open seven additional Georgia locations by the end of the year, including:
- 1015 16th Ave. E., Cordele, opening in September
- 44 Meridian Parkway, Bethlehem, opening in September
- 963 N Glynn St., Fayetteville, opening in November
- 1088 GA-92, Acworth, opening in October
- 3805 Dallas Hwy, Marietta, opening in October
- 1968 Jesse Jewell Pkwy SE, Gainesville, opening in November
- 1911 Nathan Dean Pkwy, Rockmart, opening in November
Nader launched Motley 7 Brew in 2023 with partners Tom Cook and Orangewood Investments. The franchise group began to bring drive-thru 7 Brew stands to Ohio and later expanded to Georgia and Dallas. Moving forward, Motley 7 Brew has ambitious expansion plans across the country and is aiming to build nearly 400 stands across five major states. In addition to Georgia, Texas, and Ohio, they also plan to expand into the Pacific Northwest.
Motley 7 Brew currently operates nine of the 34 stands actively open in Georgia. Motley 7 Brew most recently opened a stand in Griffin, marking the franchise group’s 51st location with 7 Brew.
“Georgia has been so good to us,” Nader said. “We just opened in Griffin last weekend, and it was one of our busiest weeks in company history.”
By the end of the year, Motley 7 Brew will have 16 locations open in Georgia and 82 stands across the country.
7 Brew was founded in 2017 in Northwest Arkansas and has been in a period of rapid growth over the past several years, expanding to more than 700 stands across 38 states. 7 Brew offers coffee beverages in addition to energy drinks, smoothies, shakes and fizzes.
7 Brew is expanding through other franchise groups in Georgia, as well. Earlier this summer, another franchise group, Rocket Brew, was in the process of gaining approval for a location in Tucker.
“The entire brand is growing unbelievably. We started with 7 Brew about four years ago, and when we started with 7 Brew, there were only 25 stands in the country,” Nader said. “Now, there are over 800 stands. By the end of this year, they’ll be over 1,000, and by the end of next year, it’ll push 2,000. That’s how quickly 7 Brew is growing nationally.”
