In 2024, the American alternative investment company Blackstone Inc. made a growth equity investment in 7 Brew that allowed it to expand significantly, though it still had about 190 locations nationwide before this point. 7 Brew opened 141 locations throughout 2024 and had a sales increase by 162% to $502 million, ending the year with 321 locations.^[2][3][4]

Taco Bell, Jersey Mike's, and Walmart also started business relations with the company in 2025.^[2][4] On September 24, 2025, 7 Brew announced that it would be partnering with American YouTube channel Dude Perfect, with plans for appearances in their content as well as a Dude Perfect-themed beverage underway.^[5] It opened its 500th location in Toms River, New Jersey in October 2025.^[2]
