7 Brew Coffee is an American chain of drive-thru only coffeehouses. It was founded in Rogers, Arkansas in 2017, but has since expanded significantly and now has a presence nationwide. The company's name is derived from the fact that its original menu included 7 different coffee drinks, but this number has since expanded significantly. Christian origins for their name have also been suggested.[1]
As of October 14, 2025, it has exactly 500 locations nationwide, with each location having an average unit volume of approximately $2 million.[2] The company's president is Chris Dawson, and its CEO is John Davidson.[2][3]
