Do you welcome new fast-food drive-thru chains opening in your town?

7 Brew plans to open a drive-thru beverage shop in Dayton along US 90, with the existing building on the former Jack in the Box property slated for demolition. The franchisee won approval from the Dayton Board of Adjustment for a variance tied to the project.

Why it matters

The Dayton location would be the company's second in Liberty County, following its first local shop on Washington Avenue in Cleveland this spring. It adds another made-to-order beverage option for residents along the US 90 corridor.

The project is expected to open roughly five months after permits are issued, a timeline that includes construction, hiring, and staff training. The stub does not provide the investment amount or the number of jobs the location will create.

The players

7 Brew

7 Brew is a drive-thru beverage chain specializing in made-to-order hot and iced coffees, teas, smoothies, and flavored energy drinks, known for personalized drink customization.

Dayton Board of Adjustment

The Dayton Board of Adjustment is the local municipal body that reviews zoning variance requests and approved the franchisee's variance for this project.

The details

7 Brew has the former Jack in the Box property at US 90 and Winfree Street under contract, and the existing building is planned for demolition. The Dayton location will use the chain's modular construction model, with much of the building manufactured off-site and installed once the property is ready.

Market Landscape

The Dayton project extends 7 Brew's rollout in Liberty County, where the company has moved from a single Cleveland shop this spring to a second location. The move reflects drive-thru beverage chains expanding into smaller regional markets along major highway corridors like US 90.

Dayton residents along US 90 will gain a new drive-thru option for coffee, tea, smoothies, and energy drinks once the location opens. Shoppers can expect the menu's personalized customization options, including flavors and add-ons, at the new site.

The takeaway

Drive-thru beverage chains are steadily spreading into mid-sized markets, so residents watching a corridor like US 90 can expect new options as permits and construction move forward. Keep an eye on the permit timeline, since the five-month opening window starts once approvals are issued.
