With the rise of major coffee chains like Dunkin’ and Starbucks filling towns across the country, a new coffee shop has entered the scene. 7 Brew is a drive-thru coffee chain that has over 500 locations all over the US and has successfully made 22 chains just in Illinois.

Founded in Rodgers, Arkansas in 2017, the coffee chain had grown in popularity more after the end of 2022. In 2025, the company had made many sponsorships as they partnered with a YouTube channel “Dude Perfect” to release new content and limited time beverages.  

“At 7 Brew, we believe every drink is an opportunity to connect, and spread kindness and joy,” said Nick Chavez, Chief Marketing Officer of 7 Brew. “Partnering with Dude Perfect brings that spirit into their storytelling universe while connecting with fans and people in new and memorable ways. We are thrilled to collaborate with Dude Perfect and bring our beverage experience to their viewers and teams.”

7 Brew is known for its many beverage options. All 7 Brew drinks are customizable and they offer over 20,000 flavor. This month, they released a valentines menu that offers drinks like Love Potion 7 Energy, Raspberry Truffle Macchiato, and Pink Mermaid Fizz Soda. 

Unlike every other coffee shop that has indoor seating, 7 Brew is different by making it a drive thru only place. While the lines can be long, the system allows customers to order as soon as they get into the line and can get their drinks faster than most coffee chains.

“7 Brew prides itself on serving guests very quickly. The convenience and speed helps drive business and keep loyal guests coming back,” says Nicole Miller Regan, CFO at 7 Brew.“Our drive-thru only model has proven to be super-efficient,” she adds. Its culture, Regan suggests, emphasizes being “fast and accurate.” 

With the success 7 Brew has made over the last few years, the company has made it one of their biggest opportunities to expand the franchise to more states and cities in the next upcoming years.
