Why the investment range is so wide
A 7 Brew stand needs land, a purpose-built drive-thru building, double lanes and equipment. Real estate costs vary hugely between markets, which is most of the difference between the low and high end.
Who 7 Brew franchises to
7 Brew began franchising in 2023 and typically works with experienced, multi-unit operators who can develop several stands in a territory, rather than first-time owners buying a single location. In 2025, franchise investment group Franchise Equity Firms acquired 7 Crew, one of 7 Brew’s largest franchisees.
