Where Exactly Is This 7 Brew Located?
The new stand is going in at 5620 Mahoning Avenue, at the corner of Mahoning and Howard avenues, along the north side of Mahoning Avenue next to Refresh Dental and directly across from Chick-fil-A. The site previously held a small strip plaza built in 1955, which has since been demolished, along with a separate abandoned home on an adjoining residential-zoned lot that needed to be rezoned to commercial to accommodate the project.
A Contested Zoning Vote and a $1.7 Million Investment
Because part of the site was zoned residential, 7 Brew’s plans required a formal rezoning process through the Austintown Zoning Commission, the Mahoning County Planning Commission, and ultimately a three-vote approval by the Township Trustees. Trustees heard public comment before voting, and the board unanimously approved the rezoning in January 2026.
Austintown Zoning Inspector Dominic Moltchen noted the property owner had already demolished the abandoned home on the residential portion of the site before the rezoning vote even happened, calling it “actually a favor to the township.” The approved plan includes a required 30-foot buffer between the new commercial property and nearby homes.
From First Report to Grand Opening: The Full Timeline
- December 2025 — WFMJ first reports 7 Brew’s plans for Austintown, noting that if rezoning went smoothly, the existing site would be demolished by April 2026 with an opening targeted for June 2026, an early estimate that has since shifted.
- January 2026 — Austintown Township Trustees unanimously approve the rezoning request at a special hearing, clearing 7 Brew to secure permits. Local coverage confirms this would be the third 7 Brew location in the Mahoning Valley.
- June 2026 — Brew and Build Real Properties LLC purchases the 1-acre site for $1.1 million and moves quickly on demolition plans for the 1955 strip plaza.
- Mid-June 2026 — Platz Realty announces the property sale publicly, and Austintown zoning officials confirm they’ve met with the project’s contractor regarding progress. Groundbreaking is described as expected soon, with no official date set.
- Late June 2026 — Demolition of the 1955 strip plaza is confirmed underway, with construction on the new building beginning soon after.
- September 2026 — An official grand opening flyer confirms the full celebration schedule, with opening day set for October 12, 2026.
