How Each Event Works
- Friends & Family (Nov 13–15). “Free Small Drinks!” with “1 drink per present customer,” in two windows on Friday and Saturday and one on Sunday.
- Opening Day (Monday, Nov 16). The flyer gives the date only, and the first Community Hours windows fall on the same day.
- 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). “Large Drink = Free Shirt!” from 5:30 AM to 11 PM, while supplies last. The flyer shows shirts in purple, charcoal gray and pink. Sizes and quantities are not stated.
The flyer does not define “present customer.” We read it as one free drink for each person who is there, but 7 Brew has not clarified.

Loves Park or Rockford? What Local News Says
7 Brew’s page and flyer give 7411 East Riverside Boulevard, Loves Park, IL 61114. Rock River Current reported in February and March 2026 on a “first 7 Brew” for Rockford at the southwest corner of East Riverside Boulevard and Bell School Road. Neither report gives a street number, so we could not confirm that 7411 East Riverside Boulevard is that corner. Loves Park and Rockford share the 61114 ZIP code area along Riverside Boulevard, and the reports describe a Rockford approval, so the stand may be the same project with a Loves Park mailing address. That is our reading, not something 7 Brew or the news reports state.

What Local Reports Say About the Plan

- No indoor seating. The reports describe a drive-thru coffee shop without indoor seating.
- Owner and operator. First Midwest Group is the applicant and owns the land through a subsidiary LLC. No 7 Brew franchisee is named.
- Nearby stands. As of April 1, 2026, Rock River Current also reported a planned 7 Brew at 10153 N. Second St. in Machesney Park, next to Kohl’s, and another at 7210 Walton St. in Rockford, next to Texas Roadhouse. We have not confirmed their current status.
