Palmetto Commercial Real Estate said May 22 that 7 Brew Drive Thru Coffee will open a Florence location on Pamplico Highway after a week of online speculation.
131 Pamplico Highway is the planned site, with the stand set to be built in front of Farmer’s Home Furniture and share the property’s parking lot.
12 South Carolina locations currently operate, and the nearest existing 7 Brew is in Myrtle Beach—more than 90 minutes from Florence.
700-plus stands across 38 states have helped the Arkansas-founded chain grow since 2017, adding another national brand to Pamplico Highway’s recent restaurant expansion.
