"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," said Chris Dawson, President of 7 Brew. "In one year, we’ve nearly doubled our stand count across the U.S., and we look forward to building upon that momentum even further. With continued expansion, we also remain committed to operational excellence and organizational strength, and are proud of the top-tier talent we’ve welcomed to our executive leadership team this year.”

600+ Stands and Counting

7 Brew has expanded from 14 stands in 2019 to now over 600 stands across 38 states. Beginning the year with 321 locations, 7 Brew opened over 280 stands in 2025 to reach this new milestone. More than just a drive-thru beverage experience, 7 Brew is about bringing kindness and joy with every drink through its service, speed, quality, energy and atmosphere. Customers can select from more than 20,000 possible drink variations from the brand’s extensive list of flavored syrups, sweet sauces, milk alternatives and other ingredients.

Serving Up New Stand Formats

This spring, 7 Brew unveiled its first walk-thru location inside a Walmart Supercenter in Springdale, Arkansas, a departure from its exclusively drive-thru stands. 7 Brew’s second walk-thru location marked its college town debut in the heart of The Ohio State University’s district, capturing new customers in a fresh format. These expansions reflect 7 Brew franchisees’ exploration of new markets and formats, driving the brand’s impressive growth across diverse locations and customer segments.

Fresh Blend of Leadership Expertise

7 Brew welcomed three notable additions to its executive team this year – Chief People Officer Stephanie Quillen, Chief Supply Chain Officer Chris Held and Chief Financial Officer Matt Dunnigan – reflecting the Company’s focus on scaling intentionally and driving operational efficiencies. With these hirings, 7 Brew is committed to maintaining a people-first company culture, consistent supply chain and a strong financial strategy.

7 Days of 7 Brew

7 Brew celebrated and gave thanks to its loyal customer base with another year of its iconic 7 Days of 7 Brew promotion. From December 7 – December 13, 7 Brew offered 7 days of deals to its customers, ranging from a free holiday ornament with purchase, to four medium drinks for $16, to a free kids-sized drink and postcard to Santa with purchase. 7 Days of 7 Brew 2025 became 7 Brew’s most-visited and most successful 7-day sales period in its history.

Cultivating Kindness

As part of its ongoing mission to cultivate kindness, 7 Brew named Stephanie Brown of Buford, Georgia as its annual 7 Brew Hero of the Year, awarded to one of 7 Brew’s previously selected monthly Heroes who go out of their way to make the world a better place, one act of kindness at a time. Stephanie is the heart of the Friends Ü Need Club (FÜN Club), where she creates an inclusive space for adults with special needs, helping them grow, build friendships and gain confidence. 7 Brew celebrated her Hero of the Year recognition with a $10,000 grand prize.

Based on 7 Brew’s incredible growth trajectory to date, there continues to be a great need in the market for its unique model, fueling 7 Brew’s plans for continued expansion across the country to bring its memorable experience to new markets and communities.
