Construction is wrapping up on the brand-new Seven Brew Coffee Shop in Leesburg. The location will be something that Leesburg has never seen before. The new coffee shop will be a drive-thru only building. The entire lot and location are designed for maximum efficiency.

(Seven Brew coffee locations cater to the drive-thru crowd. The shop is a nice eco-friendly small footprint that does not take up too much space. The entire concept

What makes Seven Brew so different is not just their amazing lineup of drinks but their use of a drive-thru location that changes the game. “7 Brew was born from a desire to change drive-thru coffee into a fun, mind-blowing experience for everyone. We dreamed of serving coffee in record time and making new friends while we’re at it. 7 Brew is so much more than just a coffee stand. It’s the concept of cultivating kindness and joy with every drink through our service, speed, quality, energy, and atmosphere. It’s contagious and it’s changing the drive-thru coffee industry.” says the company website.

Seven Brew currently has around 192 coffee shops, serves over 20,000 unique drinks. Menu options like the Blondie include Caramel & Vanilla Breve. The Brunette, German Chocolate, and Triple 7 are all signatures of the Seven Brew coffee chain. The building is complete, electric is finished and most everything needed is installed. The parking lot is done and the drive-thru is also finished.

(The double drive-thru line will keep cars moving swiftly. Seven Brew is all about quality and efficiancy.)

Seven Brew was created by Ron Crume. The company began to receive recognition in 2017 when the business began expansion goals. The original stand opened in Rogers, Arkansas in the mid 2010s. Crume’s plans of taking the chain national began to take off during the before the time of Covid. But after the pandemic and as drive-thru locations became the go-to, Seven Brew has taken off.

(Seven Brew will offer digital signage boards which have become a very modern trend among chain stores. McDonalds, Burger King, Taco Bell and others have also transitioned to digital signage the past few years.)

Crume had been a custom builder in Northwest Arkansas. He is an Oregon native, and he and his wife Lisa, their two daughters, and son-in-law decided that he would make his dream come true to open his very own coffee business. He had thought about this venture for years, but in an article published by Arkansas Gazette, Crume saw that Technomics Bakery & Coffee Cafe Consumer Trend report noted that drive-thru coffee cafes were becoming more popular across the U.S. Eventually Crume had the right opportunity and went for it.

(There is plenty of parking at Seven Brew for motorists to enjoy a nice beverage of their choice.)

As unfortunate as Covid was, this could not have come at a better time to open up drive-thru locations. After 2019, the world would never be the same, and drive-thru locations became a great option for those who did not want to sit inside a coffee shop. With our fast-paced world, we live in today, the need for drive-thru locations has only increased. On a side note there are plenty of local coffee shops in Leesburg as well, and we certainly hope that you support small business and order from those places as well. Chick-Fil-A, McDonalds and Seven Brew have truly begun to focus on the drive-thru orders the past few years. Times are changing and we should only expect more of this in the future as chains refine their drive-thru strategies.

(Still some work left to do but the interior of the drive-thru coffee shop appears to be nearing completition.)

We reached out to Seven Brew coffee and while they did not provide us with an opening date yet, it can’t be far away. The building was put up quickly, and construction has been swift. There is not much to the building. Seven Brew coffee shops don’t take up a ton of space. It will be great to have a new edition on this side of town. The former building was an abandoned old Plaza Cadillac location which was torn down late last year to make room for the new coffee shop. The Parking lot, digital signage and interior also look to be finished.

We look forward to seeing this coffee shop open up and trying some of their delicious and well-known flavors.
