"From Midwest-based franchises to beloved West Coast establishments, there are a handful of regional coffee chains that seem to be racing to open shops in as many areas as possible. Whether these franchises have been open for five years or 30 years, expansion has been top of mind for each one. Even if you aren't someone who frequents chain establishments of any sort, you'll likely find something to love about these brands, from their attention to customer experience to their high-quality beverages."
"This drive-thru coffee chain only started in 2017, but has grown to over 550 locations and is rapidly expanding outward from its original location in Arkansas. As of 2025, most of its locations are on the East Coast and in the Midwest, but its expansion plan is so ambitious, it's not a stretch to assume you'll see a shop near you soon. In 2024 alone, 7 Brew added 141 locations to its roster,"
