At the pick-up window, additional staff will deliver beverages to customers, allowing both lanes to operate efficiently and minimizing delays,\u201d the report says.<\/p>\n<p>The site neighbors a McDonald\u2019s and a Mexican fast-food chain El Pollo Loco. The shopping center also features PetSmart, Marshalls, Planet Fitness, and other tenants. The closest coffee shop is the Starbucks inside the Target on the other side of Clovis Avenue.<\/p>\n<p>The new 7 Brew Coffee proposes to operate from 5 a.m. to 11 p.m. daily, and it anticipates serving approximately 500 customers every day, according to the report.<\/p>\n<p>The chain launched its first location in Rogers, Arkansas, in 2017 and rapidly expanded to more than 500 locations in 38 states.<\/p>\n<p>The chain hasn\u2019t opened any locations in California. The nearest 7 Brew Coffee shops are in Arizona and Utah.<\/p>\n<p>Last month, it submitted a design review application to the City of Roseville, located north of Sacramento and home to approximately 148,000 residents, the <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"Follow nofollow noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.sacbee.com\/food-drink\/restaurants\/article314914176.html\">Sacramento Bee reported<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>                                              <img decoding=\"async\" class=\"responsive-image\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/FRS_7BrewCoffee_02.JPG\"   width=\"1140\" height=\"641\" title=\"FRS_7BrewCoffee_02.JPG\" alt=\"A new 7 Brew Coffee drive-through location is planned for a space in the parking lot of the shopping center southwest of Shaw and Clovis Avenues between McDonald's and El Pollo Loco.\"\/>                                                                                    A new 7 Brew Coffee drive-through location is planned for a space in the parking lot of the shopping center southwest of Shaw and Clovis Avenues between McDonald&#8217;s and El Pollo Loco.
