Arkansas-based drive-thru coffee chain 7 Brew is celebrating the grand opening of its fifth Kansas City-area location in Olathe on Saturday with free drinks and merchandise.

That day at the new location, 2021 E. Santa Fe St., the first customer in each of the two drive-thru lanes will win a free cup of coffee once a week for a year.

The winners will have to arrive early: It opens at 5:30 a.m. Free T-shirts will also be given to customers who order a large drink on Saturday.

Hours are 5:30 a.m. to 10 p.m. Sundays to Thursdays and 5:30 a.m. to 11 p.m. Fridays and Saturdays.

7 Brew serves espresso drinks, like its iced cinnamon roll drink and caramel macchiato.

The new Olathe location had a soft opening earlier this month. The company also announced it will open a Northland location in mid-August, at 2505 N.E. Vivion Road.

The chain opened its first location in 2017 and will soon open its 100th stand.
