7 Brew Coffee

A 541 sq ft pre-fabricated drive-thru coffee shop is under construction at 700 E. Ennis Ave. in Ennis. The project, filed with the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation (TDLR) as 7 Brew Coffee - Ennis, is a new construction effort scheduled to finish in September 2025. The estimated cost for this compact facility is $1,250,000, resulting in a cost per square foot of $2,311.

Project Scope and Ownership

Tyler-Longview 7 Brew LLC is the owner of record for this development. The design firm on file is Cortland Morgan Architect, and Landy Perkins serves as the registered accessibility specialist. The scope of work is strictly limited to the construction of the pre-fabricated drive-thru structure. This project is privately funded and located on private land for private use. It is part of a broader portfolio for the owner, who has three other TDLR-registered projects in Texas, including locations in Forney, Rowlett, and Canton, all totaling $3,750,000 in estimated costs.

The construction timeline was aggressive compared to regional standards. The scheduled build window was 63 days, which is shorter than the county median of 244 days for new construction projects in Ellis County. While the estimated cost of $1,250,000 is above the county median of $900,000 for new construction, the high cost per square foot reflects the specialized nature of the drive-thru format.

Current Status and Public Record

TDLR completed plan review in May 2025, and the project was registered with the agency in the same month. Construction was scheduled to begin in July 2025 with a completion date of September 2025. However, TDLR has not yet recorded a final inspection, so the current state of the site is not confirmed in the public record. The status is listed as Review Complete, indicating that the regulatory approval process for the design phase is finished, but the physical completion of the building is not verified by the state.
