District Manager - Central/North Central Illinois

We're 7 Brew!

We’re growing fast and we’re intentional about doing it the right way. At 7 Brew, you’ll find a supportive leadership team, opportunities for growth, and a culture that values kindness, accountability, and having fun while doing meaningful work.

Our team cultivates kindness every day with guests and team members alike. They're drink-makers, shelf-stockers, store-cleaners, order-takers, and smile-givers. They come to work full of energy and positivity.

Our mission is to “Inspire a community of kindness through a revolutionary coffee experience,” and members of our Brew Crew are the valuable individuals who execute that mission every day!

7 Brew was born out of a desire to use coffee as a vehicle to spread kindness and connections. People are at the heart of what we do! We're more than coffee. We're 7 Brew, and our mission is to build communities by brewing smiles one cup at a time.
