7 Brew Corpus Christi: Fourth Stand Planned for 1305 Airline Road, Part of the Sunrise Mall Revival
A new 7 Brew is confirmed for 1305 Airline Road in Corpus Christi, and it’s tied to something bigger than a single coffee stand: the long-awaited redevelopment of the old Sunrise Mall site. This isn’t the city’s first 7 Brew, it’s the fourth, joining a corridor that’s suddenly buzzing again after years of standing empty. Here’s everything confirmed.
Correction: Not Corpus Christi’s First 7 Brew
Our earlier coverage of this project incorrectly suggested Corpus Christi residents would be getting their first local 7 Brew, previously having to travel to San Antonio. That’s inaccurate. Corpus Christi already has three open 7 Brew locations: 3245 S Alameda St, 6133 Saratoga Blvd, and 13933 Northwest Blvd. The Airline Road stand covered here would be the city’s fourth confirmed location, not its first.
Quick Facts: 7 Brew Corpus Christi, Airline Road
Confirmed via Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation filing #TABS2026028024 and KIII-TV reporting.
Part of the Sunrise Mall Redevelopment
This is the detail that makes this filing more than just another coffee stand announcement. Sunrise Mall, once one of Corpus Christi’s busiest gathering spots, closed in 2019 and was demolished in 2024 after years of decline. City officials and developers have been working to revive the site at Airline Road and South Padre Island Drive ever since, and that redevelopment appears to finally be gaining real momentum. KII-TV reported that a Midnight Rodeo entertainment complex, combining country music, dancing, and a coffee-and-ice cream concept, is just weeks from opening at the site, and city officials confirmed 7 Brew has requested an early assistance meeting for a location near that same corridor.
Sunrise Mall carries real emotional weight for longtime Corpus Christi residents who grew up shopping and hanging out there, which makes any new activity along this stretch of Airline Road notable well beyond the retail and construction details.

Who’s Behind This Project?
The property owner listed on the filing is Tejas Brewistas II, LLC, based in Dallas, with Ron Matlock named as the owner’s contact. The filing was submitted by contact Jacob Wrazel, with registered accessibility specialist Felipe Guerrero of Brownsville, Texas, handling the required accessibility review, already marked complete on the filing. No design firm has been assigned yet.
This Is a Genuinely Early-Stage Project
It’s worth being clear-eyed about the timeline here: construction on this stand isn’t scheduled to begin until January 4, 2027, roughly five months from this filing, with completion targeted for April 12, 2027. A realistic public opening would likely follow several weeks after that, putting this stand on a timeline well into the second quarter of 2027 at the earliest. This is an early confirmation worth tracking, not an imminent opening.
