7 Brew Gulf Breeze, FL: Second Stand Breaks Ground at Hoffman Drive
Gulf Breeze isn’t getting its first 7 Brew, it already has one. This is a second stand, rising on the corner of Hoffman Drive and Gulf Breeze Parkway, on the site of a former Circle K. Ground broke in early 2026, though an exact opening date hasn’t landed yet. Here’s how to tell the two Gulf Breeze locations apart.
Two Gulf Breeze Locations, Don’t Mix Them Up
7 Brew’s official Facebook post thanking Gulf Breeze for “another year” of support is about the existing, already-open Gulf Breeze stand at 3876 Gulf Breeze Parkway, celebrating its anniversary, not this new second location. The stand covered in this article is a separate, new project at the corner of Hoffman Drive and Gulf Breeze Parkway (commonly listed as 401 Gulf Breeze Pkwy).

Part of 7 Brew’s Fast-Growing Florida Panhandle Footprint
Florida’s first 7 Brew opened in Crestview back in 2023, and the chain has expanded rapidly across the Panhandle since. Pensacola now has two locations, Milton and the original Gulf Breeze stand both opened as Santa Rosa County’s first two 7 Brew sites, and the brand has continued west into Alabama’s Baldwin County with stands in Foley, Daphne, and Fairhope. Florida now counts roughly 30 or more 7 Brew locations statewide.
What We Don’t Know Yet
As of the most recent local reporting, 7 Brew has not published a confirmed opening date for the Hoffman Drive stand. USA TODAY’s national August 2026 openings list confirms the address as part of the company’s broader expansion, but the exact date remains unannounced. We’ll update this article as soon as one is confirmed.
