7_Brew Franchise · 2025 FDDAnswer from 2025 FDD Document
As described in Item 1, one of our affiliates is an approved (but not the only) supplier of the modular building for your Store and also is the
designated supplier of the coffee equipment packages you need to operate your Store. Another affiliate originates certain energy drinks your Store will sell. Our affiliates currently are not approved or designated suppliers of any other products or services.
Besides these items, you currently must buy all of the Store's Operating Assets (defined above), point-of-sale and information-technology systems, small-wares, and merchandise only from suppliers we approve or according to our specifications. Our officers do not own any interest in any supplier to the franchise system that is not affiliated with us. However, one or more of our officers have an indirect ownership interest in two affiliates of ours—7 Energy LLC and CTAR, Inc. (identified in Item 1)—that do business with our franchisees.

What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to 7 Brew's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, one of 7 Brew's affiliates, 7 Energy LLC, originates certain energy drinks that 7 Brew stores will sell. This means that 7 Energy LLC is a designated supplier of at least one brand of energy drinks sold in 7 Brew franchise locations.
7 Brew franchisees are required to purchase products, including energy drinks, from approved or designated suppliers. This requirement allows 7 Brew to maintain quality control and consistency across all franchise locations. While 7 Energy LLC is an approved supplier, the FDD indicates that it is not necessarily the only supplier of energy drinks.
It's important to note that officers of 7 Brew have an indirect ownership interest in 7 Energy LLC. This relationship means that 7 Brew and its officers could benefit financially from the franchisees' purchases from 7 Energy LLC. Franchisees should consider this relationship when evaluating the costs and benefits of purchasing from affiliated suppliers.
