7 Brew Griffin, GA: Grand Opening July 20, 2026 — Full Free-Drink Schedule, Address & What to Expect
Griffin is getting its first 7 Brew, and the operator isn’t just opening quietly — there’s a full week of free drinks planned before, during, and after opening day. The new stand at 1608 North Expressway opens July 20, 2026, with a five-day Friends & Family preview, a week of Community Hours giveaways, and a Swag Day t-shirt drop already scheduled. Here’s the complete breakdown.
Update: The full grand-opening schedule below — Friends & Family days, Community Hours, and Swag Day — is now confirmed directly from the location’s own printed event flyer, giving Griffin one of the most detailed opening-week schedules of any 7 Brew covered so far.
Address & Where to Find It
7 Brew’s Griffin stand sits at 1608 North Expressway, Griffin, GA 30223. Locally, “North Expressway” refers to U.S. Highway 41 as it runs through Griffin, and local coverage has pinpointed the stand as sitting across from the Panda Bear restaurant — a useful landmark if you’re driving the corridor and looking for the new drive-thru.

Who’s Behind This Stand: Motley 7 Brew
Griffin’s stand is operated by Motley 7 Brew, a multi-state 7 Brew franchise group co-founded by Tom Cook, Rick Nader, and Orangewood Investments. The group started with a cluster of Ohio locations, expanded into Georgia next, added the Dallas/Fort Worth market in 2025, and has since announced plans to push into the Pacific Northwest. Motley promotes an internal career path where crew members can advance from barista to stand leader and eventually to managing multiple stands across a region — a detail that shows up repeatedly in the operator’s own hiring materials.
Griffin Favorites: What to Order First
7 Brew publishes a rotating “local favorites” list on each new stand’s page, and Griffin’s early picks are a solid cross-section of the menu — a good starting point if you’re not sure what to order on your first visit:
Blondie with Whipped Cream & Caramel Drizzle
Ocean Breeze 7 Energy with Cold Foam
Strawberry Smoothie with Whipped Cream

What to Expect on Your First Visit
Like every 7 Brew stand, Griffin is drive-thru only, with no indoor seating or walk-up counter. The location accepts cash, Visa, MasterCard, American Express, Discover, and contactless payments including Apple Pay, Google Pay, and Samsung Pay. On the menu: the full 7 Brew lineup across coffee, energy drinks, teas, lemonades, smoothies, and shakes, plus this month’s Freeze the Heat Frozen Chiller lineup.
7 Brew’s own welcome message for the Griffin stand emphasizes speed and a friendly crew, framing the new location as part of the community rather than just another drive-thru on the corridor.
