This Fast-Growing Coffee Chain Is Opening Dozens Of Locations, Including In IL

Coffee chain 7 Brew is rapidly expanding, with 40 new locations going into business in October and more locations opening across 29 states in November, according to reports, which noted that Illinois is among the states included in the brand’s recent growth.

Founded nearly a decade ago in Arkansas, 7 Brew operates its drive-thrus in 39 states, serving coffee, energy drinks, sodas and more.

The chain, which uses a franchise model, has over 1,000 locations listed on its website as of mid-November. Each new location creates 75 “brewista” jobs, USA Today reported.

In Illinois, 7 Brew has 47 locations, according to the company’s website. New in-state additions that opened in October included locations in Rockford, Dixon and Waukegan, the chain previously announced, while at least five more locations were planned to open in Illinois during November, including one in Springfield, USA Today reported earlier this month.
