7 Brew Drive-Thru Coffee Approved for Blackwood-Clementon Road

7 Brew Drive-Thru Coffee was approved last night for a new location on Blackwood-Clementon Road (Gloucester Twp) to be developed at the former site of a check cashing business. The new coffee shop will sit between the Fulton Bank and Filomena’s restaurant

The new location for Blackwood-Clementon Road still needs Camden County approval which would be focused on vehicle access in and out of the County owned roadway.

This would be the third to approval for 7 Brew in South Jersey.

A Washington Township location is set to open next week (and offering free/charity drink promotions this weekend, see below). Also, recently a location was approved for Cross Keys Road in Winslow Twp.

7 Brew is a newer drive-thru only coffee shop brand offering delicious coffees and refreshing drinks including smoothies and shakes.

7 Brew Coffee – Washington Twp Opens April 17th

The name comes from the seven core original flavored coffee recipes, but they offer a huge variety of flavors… 7 Brew says they have over 20,000 options on the menu! There is even a secret menu where they highlight special recipes like the Banana Bread Blondie…which I got to try this week!

Today 7 Brew has over 365 locations but they are looking to grow aggressively.

I caught up this week with local franchise owners Shunori Ramanathan and Zach Rosskamm who have plans for dozens of locations throughout New Jersey and the Philadelphia Metro region… possibly as many as 100 just in this region!

7 Brew uses a unique construction model where the core building is created off site.

Once the local foundation work is done at the property, the building is delivered to the site and a large crane lifts the building up and drops it in place on the site.

It makes for an incredibly quick development cycle where the building “just appears” in day!

7 Brew Coffee – Clementon

The latest location for Blackwood-Clementon Road is a prime location of the busy commercial roadway which has numerous surrounding businesses including Filomenas, Chipotle, Wingstop, Smoothie King, Wendy’s, Royal Farms and more.

A new ShopRite is being developed close by and recently a new Super Wawa and Mod-Wash carwash were developed.

The design for the Clementon 7 Brew places the coffee shop and drive-thru lanes towards the front of the property.

Cars will only be able to access from two of the sides, Blackwood-Clementon road and Dartmouth Drive (to the side).

While it is a drive-thru business they do offer 10 parking spaces for employees and the occasional walk-up customer. The property is large enough for trash and water management.

Honestly, it’s a uniquely shaped property being somewhat deep, and 7 Brew seems to be a perfect match for it. Previously a Take 5 Car Wash was proposed for the property but then was denied due to it just being too tight a fit for that car wash business.

7 Brew Washington Township

New Jersey’s first 7 Brew location is set to open next week on April 17th in Washington Township NJ, along the Black Horse Pike. The location is in front of the Harbor Freight/Fun City stores in the Ganttown Plaza.

That being said they have been serving free drinks for the last week or so in a promotional effort they call free drink drop-offs. Organizations and businesses had signed up to have a quantity of free drinks either delivered to their business, or made available for pickup right at the Washington Township location.

When I caught up with Zach and Shunori days ago they said they already had giving out 13,000 drinks!

All of the activity at the location from people picking up their scheduled drink-drops caused some happy confusion amongst locals who wondered if the Washington Twp 7 Brew even brew was already open!

But this weekend does offer two extra special promotions! Friday night April 11th is First Responders Appreciation Day where from 9:00 AM to 4:00 PM they’re giving free small drinks with a limited menu!

Saturday and Sunday is their give back day… caffeine for charities! From 10:00 AM to 4:00 PM on Saturday and Sunday they are giving free small drinks, and you as a customer get to pay whatever you want…with all proceeds going to charity.

Funds raised this weekend will be given to area charities; Washington Township First Responders, Forgotten Haven, and Jaws Youth Playbook.

The 7 Brew Washington Twp ribbon cutting takes place on Thursday April 17th at 10 AM.
