How to Get a 7 Brew in Your Town
1. Become a franchisee
Apply through the official 7 Brew franchise portal. Best fit if you already operate 3+ retail or food-service units and have $500K+ liquid capital.
2. Suggest a site
Use the 7 Brew contact form to nominate a high-traffic 0.5–1 acre lot near a Walmart, Target, Costco, or major commuter intersection. The corporate site team reviews suggestions in batches.
3. Pitch local CRE brokers
Many new stands begin as landlord-driven pitches. If you own/control a strong drive-thru lot, ask your broker to package it for 7 Brew’s real estate team.
