‘It’s contagious.’ Coffee company plans second Manatee County location, records show

An Arkansas-based company is expanding its drive-thru coffee brand to Manatee County.

Launched in 2017 in Rogers, Arkansas, 7 Brew Coffee has locations in 26 states including Florida.

In November, paperwork filed with Manatee County Development Services indicated a 7 Brew was planned for the Braden River Shopping Center, anchored by Publix, at 14529 State Road 70 E., in Lakewood Ranch.

Now planning records filed with the county show plans to build a new 7 Brew Coffee Drive-Thru in West Bradenton. According to records, the location is 5805 Manatee Ave. W. in a plaza featuring Winn Dixie.

“7 Brew was born from a desire to change drive-thru coffee into a fun, mind-blowing experience for everyone. We dreamed of serving premium coffee in record time and making new friends while we’re at it. The dream came alive with our first stand in Rogers, Ark., and our seven original coffees,” the company says.

There are 16 Florida locations for 7 Brew open, with none in the Tampa Bay area.

“We take pride in serving specialty coffees, smoothies, chillers, teas, and our exclusive 7 Energy, a premium energy drink that can be infused with over 20,000 flavor combinations. 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,” the company says.
