The 7 Brew Coffee empire is ready to open up its newest location in Fayetteville with a sweet deal for its first customers.
7 Brew Coffee is opening its third location in the Fayetteville/ Spring Lake area on Saturday, February 24 at 3104 Raeford Rd. To celebrate, customers will have the chance to be gifted with a free 7 Brew T-Shirt with the purchase of a large drink between 5:30 a.m. - 11 p.m.
7 Brew began as a company in Rogers, Arkansas in 2017 and was born from a desire to change drive-thru coffee into a fun, mind-blowing experience for everyone.
Now in 2024, the company has an increased presence on America's coffee scene with 193 stands located across the U.S. The company also recently celebrated their 7th anniversary in business from Feb. 14-17.
During that same week, it was announced that Blackstone Growth and affiliated funds (collectively “Blackstone”) have made a growth equity investment in 7 Brew Coffee. Blackstone’s investment seeks to help enable 7 Brew to accelerate its already-rapid expansion across the U.S., in collaboration with its premier franchise partners.
John Davidson, CEO of 7 Brew, shared in a press release, “We are on a strong growth trajectory thanks to our outstanding team, the Brew Crew and are so excited to have found in Blackstone a true partner who understands our culture and whose global reach and incredible resources will enable us to reach this next stage of growth. Blackstone brings everything we are looking for to help serve our customers and support our franchisees – industry and market knowledge, franchisee relationships, data science, operations and real estate expertise.”
