7 Brew is about to go from three Arizona stands to more than 40. The chain won a bankruptcy auction for 73 former Salad and Go leases nationwide, including 41 in Arizona, in a deal worth roughly $143.2 million. The sale still needs bankruptcy court approval on September 21, but if it goes through, it’s the single biggest expansion 7 Brew has ever made into one state, almost overnight.

A new 7 Brew is rising fast next to Walgreens on Highway 53 in La Grange, Kentucky, and the project superintendent overseeing every Kentucky 7 Brew build says it should be open in six to eight weeks. Here’s the full story, from an earlier county review that flagged real site concerns to the modular construction process that’s making this move so quickly now.

7 Brew told USA TODAY on Wednesday, September 2, that it’s opening new drive-thru stands across more than 20 states this September, one of the company’s biggest waves since August. Florida and Texas will get the most new locations with five each, followed by Georgia and North Carolina with four stores each. While most openings are expected in September, the company told USA TODAY some may slip into October. This page is our master list, and we’ll keep updating it as dates firm up and as we publish full guides for each new stand.

7 Brew added 50 new stands in August 2026 alone, pushing its national footprint to 854 locations across 38 states. That’s one of the brand’s biggest single-month expansions to date, spanning everything from small towns making their first appearance on the map to major metros adding a fourth, sixth, or seventh location. Here’s the full list, with links to every opening story we’ve covered in depth.
