7 Brew’s Second Beavercreek, OH Stand: Building Dropped on Colonel Glenn Hwy Amid Traffic Concerns
A second 7 Brew is coming to Beavercreek, Ohio, at 3919 Colonel Glenn Hwy, directly across from Meijer and close to Wright State University. The building was craned onto the site on September 11, 2026, capping off a city approval process that dragged from October 2025 into July 2026, driven largely by City Council concerns over traffic at the chain’s existing Fairfield Commons stand. Here’s the full story, including what 7 Brew’s Ohio franchisee told student reporters directly.
Quick Facts: 7 Brew Beavercreek, Colonel Glenn Hwy
Confirmed via The Wright State Guardian’s September 28, 2026 report.
Where It’s Going
The new stand sits at 3919 Colonel Glenn Hwy in Beavercreek, directly across from a Meijer supercenter and close to both Wright State University and I-675. It’s a separate project from 7 Brew’s existing Fairfield Commons stand, which opened in late October 2024 and has been popular with the local community since.
7 Brew’s prefabricated building was craned onto the Colonel Glenn Hwy site on September 11, 2026.
A Contentious Path to Approval
This stand didn’t sail through city approval. Per The Wright State Guardian, the Beavercreek City Council first tabled the request in October 2025. Jonathan Wocher, representing 7 Brew, returned to present a revised request at a February 2026 council meeting, but reporters noted he addressed the changes made to the proposal without directly engaging the traffic concerns council members and the public had raised. The project was ultimately approved in July 2026.
Council Members’ Concerns, On the Record
Two Beavercreek City Council members spoke publicly about ongoing frustration tied to 7 Brew’s existing Fairfield Commons location during the approval process:
To address the concerns, Wocher’s plan for the new stand calls for directing traffic down Germany Lane rather than routing it onto Colonel Glenn Hwy itself, an attempt to keep the busier state highway clearer during peak hours.
What the Franchisee Told Student Reporters
When The Wright State Guardian asked Matt Books, Director of Operations for Brew Team Ohio, about the company’s specific traffic mitigation plans, he did not directly answer the question, instead offering a broader statement about the franchise’s relationship with the community:
Books separately told the paper the new stand itself is expected to add 75 jobs to the area.

Beavercreek: A Fast-Growing Dayton Suburb
Beavercreek, population 46,549 at the 2020 census, is a city roughly five miles east of downtown Dayton, incorporated in February 1980. It’s home to The Greene Town Center, a large open-air shopping and entertainment complex, and sits adjacent to Wright State University and Wright-Patterson Air Force Base, giving the corridor a mix of student, military, and commuter traffic that likely factors into the ongoing congestion concerns raised by council members.
Part of 7 Brew’s Ohio Growth
This second Beavercreek stand adds to 7 Brew’s already dense Ohio presence, which included five new locations in the state as part of the chain’s August 2026 nationwide expansion wave alone. The chain, founded in Rogers, Arkansas, in 2017, has grown to more than 750 stands nationwide under CEO John Davidson.
