Drive thru coffee shop to replace gas station in Benton

UPDATE SEPT 28, 2023

Anyone driving by on Military Road has likely noticed a landscape change since a few days ago. That’s when a building for the new 7 Brew dropped out of the sky. I was going to say “seemingly” dropped, but it was literally set in place by a crane, with the building coming down from the sky. Alright, it was on a trailer, but you hear me. So… details, right?

I spoke with their public relations people, since I knew this new development would inspire questions. The goal at this point is to open in early November 2023. They said that could change depending on construction timelines – and we know the weather is always an issue.

The open hours will be 5:30 a.m. – 10 p.m., 7 days a week. If you’re looking for a job, it starts at $16 per hour. You can apply at 7brewcrew.com.

There are a lot of new businesses announcements for Saline County lately and today is no different. There’s a coffee shop I went to in Fayetteville, Arkansas, because I’d seen people talking about it on social media and needed to check it out for myself. What they said was good coffee, friendly employees and easy service.

We all know if the coffee is going to be any good, you will have to wait for them to make it. And that’s fine as long as you are getting good service and a quality product. That is exactly the experience I had. The caramel and coconut mocha tasted like German chocolate cake in a cup. 

Who and where? The corporate offices of 7 Brew Coffee confirmed for me on Thursday that they are currently in the process of coming to the property at 1415 Military Road. 7 Brew has signature coffee drinks, teas, smoothies, energy drinks and more. They are a drive-thru only restaurant.

The news from corporate was, “We just got approval for our location today, so we would love to announce it to the Benton community. We will begin construction in April and open this summer!”

They said they will tear down the current building and then drop their new stand in its place. If you look up the address on the map, you’ll see it’s the former Gulf gas station and currently, it’s occupied by Carmelita’s Mexican Diner. A representative from the restaurant stated they will be moving, but they don’t have news to announce yet about where they will be.

Meanwhile, many of you said you wanted 7 Brew to come to Saline County. Here it comes. You can see more about the company, the locations and the menu at 7brew.com/.
