7 Brew Hermitage, PA: Grand Opening October 19, 2026 – 2415 E State St, Full Schedule
Hermitage’s first 7 Brew opens Monday, October 19, 2026, at 2415 E State Street in Hermitage Towne Plaza, on the former site of an Arby’s. Friends & Family free drinks start this Friday, followed by a week of Community Hours and a Saturday Swag Day. Here is the full schedule, official hours, who is behind the stand, and how it got through Hermitage’s approval process.
Update – October 13, 2026: Opening Date Confirmed
When we first covered this stand on September 1, the building had been installed but no date had been announced. 7 Brew’s official location page and grand opening flyer now confirm Monday, October 19, 2026, with hours and a full schedule starting October 16.
We also added local reporting from the Sharon Herald and WFMJ, including the operator and the town’s approval timeline. We removed claims we could not source, including that 7 Brew was “officially making its move into western Pennsylvania,” the generic pros-and-cons sections, and unsupported traffic and market predictions.

Official Operating Hours
7 Brew’s location page for Hermitage lists the same hours every day of the week, and the Sharon Herald reported the same 5:30 AM to 11 PM schedule in June:
| Day | Hours |
|---|---|
| Sunday through Saturday | 5:30 AM – 11:00 PM |
Full Grand Opening Schedule
Sourced directly from the stand’s official grand opening flyer:
| Dates | Event | Details |
|---|---|---|
| Fri, Oct 16 | Friends & Family | 7-10 AM & 3-6 PM. Free small drinks, 1 per present customer |
| Sat, Oct 17 | Friends & Family | 9 AM-12 PM & 3-6 PM. Free small drinks, 1 per present customer |
| Sun, Oct 18 | Friends & Family | 10 AM-2 PM. Free small drinks, 1 per present customer |
| Mon, Oct 19 | Grand Opening Day | The stand officially opens for business |
| Mon Oct 19-Fri Oct 23 | Community Hours | 8-9 AM, 12-1 PM & 5-6 PM daily. Free small drinks, 1 per present customer |
| Sat, Oct 24 | Swag Day | 5:30 AM-11 PM. Free 7 Brew t-shirt with any large drink purchase, while supplies last |
Two details are worth noting. The flyer lists no Caffeine for a Cause charity weekend for Hermitage, and WFMJ’s October 13 report also mentions no charity, so the free-drink events begin directly with Friends & Family. Also, WFMJ’s article says the stand opens “Monday, October 16,” but October 16 is a Friday, and its own event list gives October 19 as opening day, matching the flyer and 7 Brew’s page. Details may change; confirm with the location before visiting.

Where Exactly Is This 7 Brew?
The stand is at 2415 E State Street, Hermitage, PA 16148, in Hermitage Towne Plaza in Mercer County. The Sharon Herald reported that the site was formerly an Arby’s, which moved to a nearby building before the old one was demolished. The Herald placed the 7 Brew east of Arby’s and Rita’s Italian Ice and west of Plaza Pizza, Subway, China Wok, Jersey Mike’s, and Hunger Station. 7 Brew’s page gives directions from Hickory High School: it is about 1.4 miles away, so turn left onto Highland Road, then left onto N Kerrwood Drive, then turn right, and the stand will be on your right.

The stand opens ahead of the developer’s own target. At the June meetings, Motley 7 Brew’s director of real estate said, “We’re hoping to be open by the end of the year,” and the project was expected to take eight to twelve weeks to build once approved. The opening is about four months after the vote.
Who Is Behind the Hermitage Stand?
The developer is Motley 7 Brew. The Sharon Herald named Drew Ponton, the company’s director of real estate, and Joe Horton, a project manager with CESO Inc., as the presenters at the June meetings, and the hiring link on 7 Brew’s Hermitage page points to motleybrew.7brewcareers.com. Ponton said the company’s philosophy is “cultivating kindness.” He also said the closest comparable store was in Niles, Ohio.
What the Stand Will Be Like
According to the Herald’s June reporting, the stand is a 510-square-foot structure with a double-lane drive-thru and an attached walk-in cooler. The Herald reported the cooler as 260 square feet in one article and 280 in another, so we don’t state a single figure. It is drive-thru only, with employees in the lanes taking orders on tablets while interior staff prepare drinks so they are ready at the window. The company expects to hire about 40 to 50 people, full-time and part-time. The menu covers coffee, energy drinks, teas, and smoothies, with up to 20,000 drink combinations through flavor options.
Hermitage’s First 7 Brew
This is the first 7 Brew in Hermitage. WFMJ notes the chain already has stands in nearby Austintown, Salem, and Howland, Ohio. For Mercer County drivers heading along East State Street, the stand sits in a plaza already full of quick-service options, so expect the opening week free-drink windows to be busy.
What to Order When It Opens
7 Brew’s Hermitage page lists four local favorites: a Strawberry Smoothie with Whipped Cream, a Blondie with Whipped Cream and Caramel Drizzle, an Ocean Breeze 7 Energy with Cold Foam, and a Georgia Peach Green Tea. Browse the full menu on our 7 Brew menu guide. The opening also falls in the middle of 7 Brew’s October promotions: try the new Frankenchai Matcha Latte, add the $2 Protein Boost to any drink, or save a stop for the Halloween Fill-A-Tray deal of four medium drinks for $17 on October 31.
