How to Get Free Drinks Opening Month

Caffeine for a Cause: The Center for Children and Families

Caffeine for a Cause is 7 Brew’s standard opening-weekend fundraiser: instead of a set price, you pay what you want for your drink, and the stand donates the proceeds. For Shreveport, the flyer says all proceeds go to The Center for Children and Families, a nonprofit that supports local families through assistance, counseling, education and prevention. It is the same organization 7 Brew presented a donation to at its Bossier City grand opening in 2025, according to a KTAL report. The Mansfield Road flyer lists three sessions: Friday, October 23 from 9 AM to 4 PM, and Saturday, October 24 and Sunday, October 25 from 10 AM to 4 PM, with a limited menu.

One flyer detail to note: the badge on the Caffeine for a Cause panel reads “Free small drinks,” but the panel’s own details say pay what you want. Plan to pay whatever you choose, and treat any free small drink as unconfirmed for these dates.

The Former RJ’s Site on Mansfield Road

9124 Mansfield Road was home to RJ’s Restaurant, a diner that operated for about 30 years and was one of several local restaurants along the Southern Hills business corridor. RJ’s announced in May 2025 that it had closed for good after fire damage. The Shreveport-Bossier City Advocate reported in February 2026 that the building was to be demolished to make way for a drive-thru-only 7 Brew, and in July 2026 that the site had been “scraped clean.” The Shreveport-Caddo Metropolitan Planning Commission approved the site plan, and the Advocate reported that the stand will be about 510 square feet. The Advocate also reported that 7 Brew customers order and pay through an employee who comes to the car, not through a speaker.

7 Brew Around Shreveport-Bossier

The Advocate described the Mansfield Road site as Shreveport’s first 7 Brew and noted nearby competition, including a Starbucks at 9368 Mansfield Road and a Dutch Bros under construction in the 9500 block of Mansfield Road. The same newspaper reported in July 2026 that a second Shreveport stand has an approved site plan at 7010 Youree Drive, so make sure you are heading to Mansfield Road for the opening events.

Jackpot Day Follows Swag Day

Saturday, November 7 is the 7th of the month, the day after Swag Day. 7 Brew’s location page lists Jackpot Day as stopping by “every 7th of the month between 7am-7pm for a new surprise.” We do not know what the surprise will be, so check the stand’s social pages that morning.

Timeline and Local Coverage

The Advocate did not name an owner or franchisee for the Shreveport stands, and we found no other source naming one, so we are not naming a franchisee. The Advocate named Landon Evans as 7 Brew’s regional manager for east Texas and western Louisiana.

What to Order When It Opens

The official page highlights favorites including the Strawberry Smoothie with Whipped Cream, the Blondie with Whipped Cream and Caramel Drizzle, the Ocean Breeze 7 Energy with Cold Foam, and the Georgia Peach Green Tea.
