Exciting developments are underway in the New Orleans area as 7 Brew, a popular drive-thru coffee chain, expands its footprint. With recent property acquisitions, the Arkansas-based retailer is poised to bring its innovative coffee offerings to more locations in the region.
Location Expansion
7 Brew has recently acquired two properties in the New Orleans area, signaling a significant expansion effort. Land records indicate that the company invested $1 million in April for a tract on Manhattan Boulevard, located in the parking lot of AMC Westbank Palace 16 in Harvey.
In addition, 7 Brew purchased a property at 629 N U.S. 190 in Covington for $1.85 million this month.
Menu Highlights
Known for its diverse selection of handcrafted coffee beverages, 7 Brew offers over 20,000 unique drink combinations. Their menu features not only sweet coffee drinks but also energy drinks, teas, smoothies, shakes, and lemonades.
Current Developments
A spokesperson for 7 Brew mentioned that the new locations in Covington and Harvey are still in the developmental stages, and therefore, specific timelines or details have yet to be confirmed.
Currently, the coffee chain operates more than 700 locations across the country, including around 22 in Louisiana. The company has been steadily increasing its presence in Louisiana and the Gulf Coast in recent years.
Just months ago, 7 Brew opened a store in Slidell and has multiple outlets in the New Orleans metro area, including locations in Metairie and Chalmette, as well as in the Baton Rouge metro area and Lafayette.
Market Context
The new Covington site is situated on a section of U.S. 190 that has recently welcomed national chains such as Smalls Sliders and Cava, both of which opened franchises in the past year.
Nearby, franchises of Starbucks and P.J.’s Coffee also serve coffee enthusiasts. The Covington location was formerly home to the Japanese restaurant Misaki Hibachi and Sushi, and before that, it featured Dakota, a fine dining restaurant that has since relocated to downtown Covington.
For the Harvey site, 7 Brew received approval on April 22 from the Jefferson Parish Council for adjustments related to landscaping and signage regulations.
