7 Brew Mount Vernon, OH: Breaks Ground on Coshocton Avenue – Construction Timeline & Address Clarified
7 Brew officially broke ground this week on its new Mount Vernon, Ohio stand, with excavators moving in on a Coshocton Avenue site. The project is part of a much larger statewide expansion by Ohio franchise group Motley 7 Brew, and there’s a real address mix-up worth clearing up before you go looking for it. Here’s everything confirmed, straight from the site.
Address Clarified: It’s Coshocton Avenue, Not the Mall
Earlier local coverage, including a report from the Mount Vernon High School student newspaper, described the new 7 Brew as opening at a “Times Square Mall” location on Broadway. That does not match the confirmed groundbreaking site. Knox Pages, reporting directly from the actual groundbreaking this week, confirms the project is at 856 Coshocton Avenue, matching the address originally reported by What Now Columbus back in February 2026 when the project was first announced as part of a larger Ohio expansion. We’re treating 856 Coshocton Avenue as the confirmed, current address, since it’s backed by on-site reporting and a named construction manager, not the earlier mall reference.
Quick Facts: 7 Brew Mount Vernon, OH
Confirmed via Knox Pages’ on-site groundbreaking report.
Where Exactly Is This 7 Brew Located?
The stand is confirmed at 856 Coshocton Avenue in Mount Vernon, Ohio, the Knox County seat. A Tim Hortons already sits nearby at 941 Coshocton Ave, giving locals an easy landmark for the general area. Mount Vernon already has a genuinely competitive local coffee scene, with independent shops like Happy Bean, The Brickhouse Grind, Java Hut, North Main Cafe, Wiggin Street Coffee, CenterBean Coffee House, and Leonard’s Coffee Roasting, alongside national chains Starbucks and Dunkin’. This will be the first 7 Brew location in Mount Vernon and in Knox County.
Groundbreaking underway on the new 7 Brew stand at 856 Coshocton Avenue, Mount Vernon, OH.
What Construction Looks Like Right Now
According to Matt Gagliano of Pittsburgh-based Foundry Real Estate Development, the firm managing construction, the project is expected to take about seven weeks from groundbreaking to substantial completion.
That timeline points to the modular building itself arriving on-site around mid-to-late September 2026, consistent with 7 Brew’s standard approach of constructing its stands off-site and dropping the finished structure onto a prepared foundation. Based on the pattern seen at other 7 Brew openings, a public grand opening typically follows a few weeks after the building drop, once final utility hookups, signage, and inspections are complete.
Part of a Much Bigger Ohio Expansion
This Mount Vernon stand is one piece of a broader Central Ohio expansion by Motley 7 Brew, the franchise group founded by Rick Nader, Tom Cook, and Orangewood Investments in January 2023. When What Now Columbus first reported this project in February 2026, it was listed alongside several other Central Ohio sites in active development at the same time, including a stand at 6270 Pullman Drive in Lewis Center, which has since opened.
| Location | Address | Status |
|---|---|---|
| Lewis Center | 6270 Pullman Drive | Open |
| Columbus (Sawmill Rd) | 6242 Sawmill Road | Open |
| Columbus (Ikea Way) | 2012 Ikea Way | In development |
| Powell | 4087 Powell Road | In development |
| Delaware | 1424 Sunbury Road | In development |
| Athens | 921 E State Street | In development |
| Mount Vernon (this stand) | 856 Coshocton Avenue | Groundbreaking underway |
As of the most recent update, Motley 7 Brew operates around 40 locations across Ohio, with additional expansion planned around Cincinnati and Cleveland.
Not to Be Confused With Mount Vernon, Illinois
If you search “7 Brew Mount Vernon,” you may also come across an already-open location at 4105 Broadway St in Mount Vernon, Illinois, roughly 500 miles away. That’s a completely different, unrelated 7 Brew stand in a different state. This article covers Mount Vernon, Ohio, in Knox County, part of the Motley 7 Brew franchise’s Central Ohio expansion.
What to Expect When It Opens
Like every 7 Brew location, this will be a drive-thru-only stand with no indoor seating. Expect the full 7 Brew menu of more than 20,000 drink combinations spanning coffee, energy drinks, teas, lemonades, smoothies, shakes, and Fizz sodas, along with order-ahead support through 7 Brew’s mobile app, which launched nationwide on August 12, 2026.
