BRICK — A new drive-through coffee shop is coming to a central Brick Township shopping plaza after the local planning board approved an application for a 7 Brew Coffee location.
The board gave the thumbs up at their recent meeting, clearing the way for the chain to construct a small, stand-alone coffee shop within the shopping center along Chambers Bridge Road.
The plaza is home to retailers including Best Buy, Ross and West Marine and previously housed TGI Friday’s and Bed Bath and Beyond.
Plans call for a roughly 510-square-foot building positioned along the roadway at the southern end of the property. While the shop will accommodate walk-in customers, its primary focus will be drive-through service, with a dedicated circulation lane designed for quick vehicle turnover. The proposal also includes a 260-square-foot refrigeration shed, updated lighting, new signage, designated parking areas and aesthetic improvements.
Founded in 2017 in Rogers, Arkansas, 7 Brew Coffee has expanded rapidly across the country. The company emphasizes fast service and a casual, welcoming atmosphere, offering a menu that includes flavored coffee drinks, hot and cold brews, teas, lattes, energy drinks, fizzy beverages and shakes.
The Brick Township shop will mark the chain’s third location in New Jersey. The company opened its first in the state earlier this year on Hooper Avenue in Toms River, followed by another in Turnersville.
