What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to 7 Brew's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, a total of 138 outlets were opened across all states during the year 2023. This indicates a significant expansion of the 7 Brew franchise system during that year.
The state with the most openings in 2023 was Texas, with 22 new 7 Brew locations. Indiana followed with 11 openings, and Florida and Oklahoma each had 10 new locations. Arkansas and Missouri each opened 9 locations. Illinois opened 7 new locations, while Kentucky and Tennessee each opened 6. Kansas and North Carolina each opened 5 new locations. Georgia and Ohio each opened 4 new locations. Louisiana saw 3 new openings, while Michigan, Mississippi, New York, and Wisconsin each had 2. Colorado, Iowa, Nebraska, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, and South Dakota each had 1 new location. Connecticut, New Mexico, Utah, Virginia, West Virginia, and Wyoming did not have any new 7 Brew locations open in 2023.
For a prospective franchisee, this rapid growth suggests a strong demand for 7 Brew's products and services. However, it's also important to consider factors such as market saturation and competition in specific areas when evaluating the potential for success in a particular location. The substantial number of openings, especially in certain states, could signal either a strategic focus on those regions or simply greater franchisee interest and availability of suitable sites.
