7 Brew Coming to Sheboygan, WI: Construction Underway at 3715 Washington Ave
Sheboygan’s first 7 Brew is being built on the city’s south side at 3715 Washington Avenue. The Plan Commission approved the project in May, and the Sheboygan Press reported on September 21 that construction is now underway. No grand opening date has been announced, and an early-2027 estimate from June is the only timeline anyone has put in print. Here’s everything confirmed so far, and what’s still unknown.
No Confirmed Opening Date Yet
This is an early-stage project. There’s no official grand opening flyer, no published opening date, and no announced charity partner or promo schedule. Seehafer News reported in June that the stand could start serving customers in early 2027 if construction stayed on schedule. We’ll update this page as soon as 7 Brew or the franchisee announces a date.

About the Building
City staff described the plans as a roughly 813-square-foot building with a separate cooler structure, while local radio coverage rounded that to about 800 square feet. The stand will have two drive-thru lanes and 19 parking spaces. During the architectural review, the project’s engineer and architect, Eric Kowski of Excel Engineering, described an exterior of modular Nichiha-style panels over a steel frame, and the commission asked for confirmation that panel joints and a prefabricated dumpster enclosure would match the approved look. The applicant told commissioners the stand would stay open into the evening, roughly 10 to 11 p.m., serving coffee, smoothies, ice-cream-based drinks, teas, and flavored energy drinks. Official operating hours haven’t been published.
What Was Here Before? Two Sources Disagree
Seehafer News described the property as a former gas station that operated in Sheboygan for decades. City staff, as recorded in the Plan Commission’s meeting summary, described the lot as vacant and formerly used for semi-trailer parking. We can’t confirm which description is more accurate for this specific parcel, so treat both as reported rather than settled.
Who’s Behind It
The Sheboygan stand would be owned by MilBrew Holdings, which BizTimes says has opened several 7 Brew stands in Wisconsin, with earlier expansion efforts in the state led by Milwaukee native Tommy Pennington. Kevin Schult, a partner with the company, and Excel Engineering’s Eric Kowski answered commissioners’ questions at the May review. 7 Brew has not published a separate franchisee page for this stand.
Why Sheboygan, and Why the South Side
The permit application said the site was chosen for its proximity to commercial businesses, K-12 schools, and bus routes, and framed the project as filling a need in Sheboygan. According to BizTimes, the city’s director of planning and development, Taylor Zeinert, said young people have asked for a 7 Brew in the area numerous times. Sheboygan sits on Lake Michigan and is the county seat of Sheboygan County, in the state’s Lakeshore region.
7 Brew’s Wisconsin Footprint
Wisconsin is an established 7 Brew market. BizTimes lists stands in Brookfield, West Bend, and Green Bay, and 7 Brew’s separate Neenah opening earlier this month is one of the newer additions in the state. The chain, founded in Rogers, Arkansas, in 2017, has grown from 38 U.S. locations in 2023 to more than 700 across 38 states, per Seehafer News, and now counts more than 750 stands under CEO John Davidson.
What to Order When It Opens
Blondie with Whipped Cream & Caramel Drizzle
7 Brew’s #1 best-seller nationwide and its signature order.
Ocean Breeze 7 Energy with Cold Foam
A top energy drink pick, and a fit for the flavored energy drinks the applicant mentioned.
Georgia Peach Green Tea
A fruit-forward tea option for warmer months.
Strawberry Smoothie with Whipped Cream
A fan favorite across the chain, and a match for the smoothies on the planned menu.
Note: 7 Brew’s mobile app, launched August 12, 2026, brings order-ahead and secret menu access nationwide and will be available at this location once it opens.
