A new 7 Brew Coffee shop is planned for the busy stretch of Valley Mills Drive in Waco. A recent state filing outlines a small drive-thru building that would replace an older commercial structure on the site. This update revisits the location, checks its history, and reviews the construction details confirmed so far.
Construction
The project appears in the latest TDLR filing as new construction. The building will be a 510-square-foot drive-thru coffee shop. The filing lists a start date in January 2026 and a projected completion in May 2026. This confirms that the existing building is expected to be replaced rather than reused. The filing does not list the tenant as the builder.
Location
The site sits along South Valley Mills Drive, a stretch filled with older retail pads and high traffic. Street View images show a long history of small businesses here, including insurance and cash-loan offices. The structure itself has the layout of an older service-station-style building. Aerial photos from the 1960s show early commercial activity on the parcel, with the same footprint visible in modern views. LoopNet property records confirm the lot size and long-term commercial use.
Company Background
7 Brew Coffee began in Rogers, Arkansas in 2017. The chain is known for compact buildings and fast dual-lane drive-thru setups. The brand has been growing quickly across Texas. Each location tends to use a small pad with limited indoor space, focusing on quick service and visibility along busy roads.
