Most of us drink coffee in the morning.  Some people will drink coffee all day.  Personally I'm not sure how people do that, I would never get to sleep at night.  But to each their own.

COFFEE SHOPS OPENING

Recently we have seen so many new coffee shops pop up in the St. Cloud area.  There have been new locations for coffee shops that have been here for quite awhile such as Caribou and Starbucks, but we have also seen drive through only shops such as Scooters and now 7 Brew.

DRIVE THRU ONLY

7 Brew in St Cloud is located basically in the parking lot at Crossroads Mall right next to Caribou Coffee which has been open for years.  If they want some competition, that is bold.  7 Brew is slated to open mid to late September.

7 Brew isn't stopping there.  They recently opened a couple of other shops in Northern Minnesota, and are planning about 60 more locations in Minnesota within the next five years.

Kentucky-based Glow Brands, the leading franchisee of Planet Fitness and 7 Brew, is behind the company's Minnesota expansion via Twin Cities franchisee Kueber Coffee Minnesota LLC

 

LOTS OF OPTIONS

7 Brew does have coffees, obviously, including iced, chilled or hot.  They also have energy drinks, fizzy drinks, teas and lemonades along with smoothies and shakes.  Plus they can customize everything depending on dietary needs.  Much like every other coffee shop.  They also offer a rewards program.

QUICK EXPANSION

Since they are expanding so quickly, is this a plan to take over an area that is fairly rooted in Caribou coffee?  We will see.  But check out the location in St. Cloud opening in about a month.
