The story
7 Brew, a national drive-thru coffee chain, is planning expansion into Chesterfield County with a new location at 10200 Iron Bridge Road, near the intersection with Centralia Road. The site, a 1-acre vacant property adjacent to a Walgreens, recently received a site plan submission to the county.
The project is being developed by Kindness Crew, a Charlotte-based franchise group that operates 7 Brew locations throughout the Carolinas. Kindness Crew is separate from another local franchise operator, Brenda Creamer's group, which brought the region's first 7 Brew to the market in 2024 and currently operates five locations across Chesterfield, Ashland, and Colonial Heights.
Specific opening dates and further details about the Iron Bridge Road location were not available. The company did not respond to requests for comment.
