7 Brew Lexington, KY: Grand Opening September 14, 2026 – Fourth Location & Full Schedule
Lexington’s newest 7 Brew now has an official grand opening flyer confirming the exact date and every event. The stand at 1617 Clays Mill Road opens Monday, September 14, 2026, kicking off with a Caffeine for a Cause fundraiser benefiting UK Children’s Hospital. This isn’t Lexington’s first 7 Brew, it’s the fourth. Here’s everything confirmed.
Not Lexington’s First 7 Brew
Lexington already has multiple 7 Brew stands open, at 4265 Harrodsburg Rd, 2895 Richmond Rd, and 2349 Remington Dr. This Clays Mill Road stand is confirmed as the city’s fourth location, not its first. 7 Brew’s own official location page lists the address as “1617 Clay Mills,” a slight variation from the road’s actual name, Clays Mill Road, confirmed by Kentucky transportation records; the flyer itself correctly prints “Clays Mill Rd.”

Lexington’s Growing 7 Brew Footprint
Lexington’s original 7 Brew opened at 4265 Harrodsburg Rd. A second location followed at 2895 Richmond Rd, celebrated with a building-drop event that included 7 Brew presenting a $2,000 check to Kentucky Children’s Hospital, the same UK Children’s Hospital network benefiting from this new stand’s Caffeine for a Cause fundraiser. A third stand opened at 2349 Remington Dr. This Clays Mill Road location, on the city’s south side, is confirmed as the fourth.
| Location | Address | Status |

| 1st | 4265 Harrodsburg Rd | Open |
| 2nd | 2895 Richmond Rd | Open (2023 building drop, $2,000 to Kentucky Children’s Hospital) |
| 3rd | 2349 Remington Dr | Open |
| 4th (this stand) | 1617 Clays Mill Rd | Opens September 14, 2026 |
Who Benefits From Caffeine for a Cause?
UK Children’s Hospital, part of the University of Kentucky’s health care system, provides pediatric care across the region. 7 Brew’s Lexington franchise group has a documented history of supporting the same children’s hospital network at previous openings, making this Caffeine for a Cause fundraiser a continuation of an established local relationship rather than a one-off pick.
Part of a Larger September Wave
Lexington’s new stand is one of dozens of locations 7 Brew confirmed to USA Today for September 2026, part of a wave the company said would span more than 20 states, with most openings landing in September and some slipping into October.
