7 Brew Plans To Bring Its Energy To Watertown Coffee Lovers Soon

There’s no debating it, Americans run on coffee. And in Sioux Falls, that love affair is practically a full-blown relationship.

Just take a quick drive around town, and you’ll see what I mean. Starbucks on one corner, Coffea on another, Caribou down the street, and that’s just your first three turns. At this point, finding a cup of coffee in Sioux Falls is easier than finding a parking spot downtown during lunch hour.

Now, one of the newer names fueling our city's caffeine craze is getting ready to spread the buzz a little further north of Sioux Falls.

7 Brew, the drive-thru coffee spot known for its high-energy vibes, bold drinks, and lines that can rival the Macy's Day Parade, is expanding. The company just announced plans to open a brand-new location in Watertown, South Dakota, giving folks about 100 miles north of Sioux Falls a fresh way to get their caffeine fix.

If you’ve been through the Sioux Falls location on Louise Avenue on the campus of the Empire Mall, you already know the drill: friendly faces, fast service, and a menu packed with everything from strong coffee and espresso drinks to smoothies, teas, and energy boosts that might have you reorganizing your garage at midnight for no reason.

7 Brew also has a Rapid City location, making the Watertown store its third stop in South Dakota. According to Dakota News Now, the new stand will be built along 9th Avenue Southeast and is expected to open sometime in 2026. When it does, it’ll bring around 50 new jobs to the area, plus plenty of opportunities for residents to discover just how long they’re willing to sit in a drive-thru line for a really good drink.

Beyond the beverages, 7 Brew has built its brand on positivity and connection, aiming to cultivate kindness in every cup.

Applications for the upcoming Watertown location are now being accepted, so if you’ve ever wanted to be part of the morning pick-me-up that keeps a person moving through his or her day, this might be your shot.
