7 Brew Wilmington, NC Grand Opening: November 16, 2026 at 805 College Road

7 Brew’s official location page lists its Wilmington, NC stand at 805 College Road as “Coming Soon: November 16th, 2026,” and the grand opening flyer confirms Opening Day on Monday, November 16. The flyer schedules free small drinks for Friends & Family from November 13 to 15 and Community Hours from November 16 to 20, then Swag Day on Saturday, November 21. This is the stand local reporting described as 7 Brew’s first in Wilmington.

Quick answer: The new 7 Brew is at 805 College Road, Wilmington, NC 28403. Opening Day is Monday, November 16, 2026. Free small drinks are offered in two windows, Friends & Family (Friday–Sunday, November 13–15) and Community Hours (Monday–Friday, November 16–20), at one drink per present customer. Swag Day is Saturday, November 21, from 5:30 AM to 11 PM, while supplies last.

Full Grand Opening Schedule

By our count, Friends & Family offers 16 hours of free-drink windows across three days (6 on Friday, 6 on Saturday, 4 on Sunday), and Community Hours add 15 more across five days. These totals are ours, not 7 Brew’s.

How Each Event Works

• Friends & Family (Nov 13–15). The flyer labels this “Free Small Drinks!” with “1 drink per present customer.” It lists two windows on Friday and Saturday and one on Sunday. The windows differ by day, so check the table above before you go.
• Opening Day (Monday, Nov 16). The flyer gives the date only. The official location page shows the same date as “Coming Soon.”
• Community Hours (Nov 16–20). Free small drinks in three one-hour windows each day, one drink per present customer.
• Swag Day (Saturday, Nov 21). The flyer says “Large Drink = Free Shirt!” from 5:30 AM to 11 PM, while supplies last. It shows black, blue and red shirts. Sizes and the number of shirts are not stated.

The flyer says “1 drink per present customer” and does not define the term further. We read it as one free drink for each person who is there, but 7 Brew has not clarified.

Hours can change. Confirm on the official page before you go.

Address and Contact

7 Brew’s page and flyer say “805 College Road.” Business reports used “805 S. College Road.” We believe they describe the same site, which local reports place in front of a former Kmart, but 7 Brew has not explained the difference. The phone number is printed on 7 Brew’s page as shown. Its (479) area code is an Arkansas code, so confirm it before you rely on it.

About the Site

The details below come from local business reporting during the planning stage, so the finished stand may differ.

• Site: WilmingtonBiz reported on April 16, 2026 that the stand would sit on roughly half an acre where a Burger King was demolished in 2024, in the parking lot of a Kmart vacant since 2017.
• Size and layout: The same report described a stand of just over 500 square feet with a dual-lane drive-thru and a walk-up window. Port City Daily’s overview of the brand says stands use double drive-thru lanes with no service windows, so ask on opening day what is available.
• Why this corner: The reporting quotes Pak Luu, 7 Brew brand president at Delight Restaurant Group, calling it “a super accessible corner that’s close to campus,” a reference to UNC Wilmington.
• Franchisee: Delight Restaurant Group, based in Norfolk, Virginia, per Port City Daily. WilmingtonBiz reported the group holds rights to about 100 7 Brew locations across the Raleigh-Durham and Wilmington markets and Hampton Roads, Virginia.

More Wilmington Stands Are Planned

Port City Daily reported on August 3, 2026 that site plans had been submitted for three Wilmington stands: 805 S. College Road, 4607 Market Street and 5317 Carolina Beach Road. Good Life Wilmington reported the Market Street stand was expected in early 2027. No opening dates have been announced for the others. The reporting also mentions roughly a dozen Wilmington-market stands over five years, per the Wilmington Business Journal. For those two sites, see our Wilmington, NC planned stands guide.

WilmingtonBiz reported that a 7 Brew had opened in Shallotte the previous fall, the chain’s first stand in the area.

What the Flyer Does Not Show

• No Caffeine for a Cause event or charity partner appears on this flyer. Other grand openings have had one, so check 7 Brew’s social pages for updates.
• No Opening Day deal beyond the date.
• No Jackpot Day offer for opening week. The official page says stands celebrate on the 7th of each month from 7 AM to 7 PM. By our reading, the first Jackpot Day after opening is December 7, since November 7 is before opening. See our Jackpot Day guide.

Tips for Opening Week

• Plan for a line. 7 Brew openings often draw crowds, though we have no Wilmington wait data.
• Match your visit to the day’s window, which differ between Friday, Saturday and Sunday.
• It is one small drink per present customer, and the flyer does not define “present customer” further.
• Go on Saturday, November 21 for the shirt, and buy a large drink. Supplies are limited.
• Join 7 Brew Rewards for points on every drink.
