Toms River coffee fans, get ready to enjoy a brand new blend. 7 Brew, a relative newcomer to the java scene, is opening a stand in the neighborhood, reports local media outlet Brick Shorebeat.

As part of a greater push into New Jersey-the chain has, to date, been absent from the Garden State-the cafe will be setting up shop at 1358 Hooper Avenue. The Toms River location is still in the early developmental phases, working on attaining the approvals necessary to open. The concept has earned the Township Planning Board’s permission to erect a new storefront at the Hooper Commons shopping center.

7 Brew’s shops are delivered, pre-fabricated, to their locations, then finalized on site. The Toms River shop will occupy 510 square feet, complete with a drive-thru lane.

7 Brew is one of the more rapidly growing chains on the market today. The brand is aiming to open 250 stores this year. The coffee concept, launched in Arkansas in 2017, is making its first big push into New Jersey, a state it has been absent from prior to this year. The company now has more than 300 locations.
