Plans are underway for 7 Brew Coffee to open two new drive-thru locations in Joliet, Illinois. The Arkansas-based coffee chain is set to begin construction on May 19 at a site on Jefferson Street, previously occupied by a Long John Silver's restaurant. The Joliet City Council has approved the necessary permits for both locations, including a second shop on Plainfield Road, which will be part of the Millenium Square development. This move comes after community concerns about the condition of the Jefferson Street site, prompting local officials to support the redevelopment.
• Construction at the Jefferson Street site involves demolishing the old restaurant.
• The Plainfield Road location will be near a new gas station.
• Access to the Plainfield Road shop will be through a service road.
• The city has received multiple complaints about the Jefferson property.
The introduction of 7 Brew Coffee is significant for Joliet. It not only revitalizes vacant properties but also enhances local business options. This development can improve the area's appeal and potentially attract more visitors and residents, fostering economic growth.
