7 Brew, the drive-thru coffee chain that’s rapidly expanding, is headed to Belleview and beyond.
The new location at 5530 Southeast Abshier Boulevard, is set to have a grand opening celebration on January 19, according to its website.
The location is owned and operated by Texas-based 7 Crew. With 50 7 Crew franchise locations already in operation, it’s considered 7 Brew’s largest franchisee, according to Restaurant Dive. Recently, private equity firm Franchise Equity Partners acquired a majority stake in 7 Crew, in a deal to open more than 200 additional locations in several states including Florida, although additional Central Florida locations have not yet been disclosed.
Ron Crume founded 7 Brew in Arkansas in 2017, starting with seven core coffee drinks. Now, 7 Brew specialized in dozens of menu items including energy drinks, smoothies, sodas, and teas. The menu offers monthly specials and a rewards program for frequent customers.
What started as one lone coffee stand is now one of the country’s fastest growing chains with more than 600 locations in 38 states. 7 Brew is also having a major impact in the neighborhoods it serves by creating more than 25,000 jobs in total. The majority of this growth spurt is due to franchisees. The company started franchising 7 Brew locations in 2022 and has since more than doubled the number of locations since then.
