7 Brew has set the grand opening schedule for its new drive-thru coffee stand on Linden Avenue in Dayton, with opening day on Monday, Nov. 2, 2026, and a charity weekend kicking off this Friday, Oct. 23.
The stand, at 4211 Linden Ave. in Dayton, near Riverside, starts with Caffeine for a Cause from Oct. 23 to 25, when customers pay what they want and all proceeds benefit Dayton Children’s Hospital.
Free-drink previews follow before the doors officially open. Friends and Family free small drinks run Oct. 30 through Nov. 1, and Community Hours with free small drinks run Nov. 2 through 6, the stand’s first week in business.
Swag Day is set for Saturday, Nov. 7, when customers who buy a large drink receive a free shirt. A Chamber of Commerce ribbon-cutting follows on Monday, Nov. 9, from 2 to 3 p.m.
Regular hours listed for the stand are 5:30 a.m. to 10 p.m. Sunday through Thursday, and 5:30 a.m. to 11 p.m. Friday and Saturday. The drive-thru format is built around speed, with crews taking orders outside and drinks handed out at the window.
The charity weekend puts the hospital at the center of the launch. Dayton Children’s is the Miami Valley’s children’s hospital, and the pay-what-you-want format means every customer through the drive-thru on opening weekend is also a donor, whether they pay a dollar or twenty for their drink.
7 Brew is one of the fastest-growing drive-thru coffee chains in the country, built on a menu of customizable coffees, energy drinks, teas and shakes and a deliberately upbeat, music-forward stand culture. The Linden Avenue location is the brand’s entry into the Dayton market.
For Dayton-area coffee drinkers, the opening adds another drive-thru option on the city’s east side, and the opening week is stacked with free-drink windows for anyone who wants to try it early.
The first chance is this weekend: Caffeine for a Cause runs Friday through Sunday, Oct. 23 to 25, with every pay-what-you-want dollar going to Dayton Children’s Hospital, before the stand’s official Nov. 2 grand opening.
