7 Brew Coffee is an American chain of drive-thru only coffeehouses. It was founded in Rogers, Arkansas in 2017, but has since expanded and now has a presence throughout the United States. The company's name is derived from its original menu including 7 different coffee drinks, but this number has since expanded.[1]
As of October 14, 2025, it has exactly 500 locations nationwide, with each location having an average unit volume of approximately $2 million. The company's president is Chris Dawson,[2] and its CEO is John Davidson as of February 2024.[3]
History
7 Brew was created in 2017, with its first location opening in Rogers, Arkansas.[1]
In 2023, the franchisee Motley 7 Brew formed, backed by Orangewood Partners and Anchor Point Management Group, with the plan to open 125 7 Brew locations. As of October 2025, over 20 of these locations have opened.[4]
In 2024, the American alternative investment company Blackstone Inc. made a growth equity investment in 7 Brew that allowed it to expand, though it still had about 190 locations nationwide before this point. 7 Brew opened 141 locations throughout 2024 and had a sales increase by 162% to $502 million, ending the year with 321 locations.[2][3][4]
In September 2025, the private investment firm Franchise Equity Firms acquired 7 Crew, 7 Brew's second largest franchisee, which is expected to increase its size by over 200 locations. Taco Bell, Jersey Mike's, and Walmart also started business relations with the company in 2025.[2][4] On September 24, 2025, 7 Brew announced that it would be partnering with American channel Dude Perfect, with plans for appearances in their content as well as a Dude Perfect-themed beverage underway.[5] It opened its 500th location in Toms River, New Jersey, in October 2025.
