FORT WAYNE, Indiana – The popular drive‑thru beverage chain 7 Brew is breaking ground on its second Fort Wayne location. Building permits show that work is under way at 2117 North Coliseum Boulevard, adjacent to a section of the Lowe’s parking lot.
The new stand will feature the same fast‑service model that made the original Fort Wayne shop at 10170 Maysville Road a neighborhood favorite. Customers can expect the chain’s signature menu of more than 20,000 drink combinations, including the Blondie caramel and vanilla breve, 7 Energy drinks, smoothies, sodas and teas.
Local impact and job creation
City officials anticipate that the construction project will generate short‑term jobs for local contractors and, once opened, provide permanent positions for baristas and support staff. The addition of another 7 Brew location also expands consumer choice in the area, offering a convenient alternative for families and commuters seeking quick, high‑quality beverages.
Company background
Founded in Arkansas in 2017, 7 Brew has grown rapidly to become one of the nation’s fastest‑expanding drive‑thru beverage chains. Its emphasis on speed, variety and a modern ordering experience has resonated with customers across the Midwest, prompting the brand’s continued expansion into new markets.
While an exact opening date for the Coliseum Boulevard site has not been announced, the company’s track record suggests that the stand could be operational within the next several months, pending completion of construction and final inspections.
Community response
Local residents have expressed enthusiasm for the new location, noting the convenience of a drive‑thru option near the Lowe’s shopping area. Business owners in the vicinity anticipate increased foot traffic, which could benefit nearby retailers and restaurants.
7 Brew’s expansion aligns with Fort Wayne’s broader efforts to attract new businesses and enhance the city’s commercial landscape. The project underscores the city’s appeal to growing brands seeking to serve the community’s needs.
What’s next?
