7 Brew Coffee has signed a drive-through pad lease at 183 Chase Ave in Waterbury, CT, and the store opened on August 31, 2026, joining the Brass Mill commercial corner directly across from Target, Stop & Shop, Taco Bell, and McDonald’s. The transaction was brokered by Commercial Connection.

Deal summary: 7 Brew leased a pad site at the 145-183 Chase Ave assemblage in Waterbury’s Brass Mill area, taking one of three pad sites originally available at the corner. Two pad sites remain available — a 5,000 SF and a 10,000 SF pad — both fronting Chase Ave with full CA (Commercial Arterial) zoning supporting drive-through, retail, food-service, and quick-service uses.

Why this corner: directly across from Brass Mill Commons (Target at 935 Wolcott St, Stop & Shop at 945 Wolcott St, Taco Bell, McDonald’s) and ~0.5 mi from the Brass Mill Center regional mall (495 Union St). The location anchors one of Greater Waterbury’s strongest retail corridors with consistent daytime population from Brass Mill, downtown employment, and UConn Waterbury (99 East Main St). The I-84 / Route 8 interchange sits just half a mile away.

7 Brew Coffee: a fast-growing drive-through specialty coffee chain known for short-stop service and small-footprint pad sites. The 2026 Waterbury opening adds 7 Brew to the Brass Mill retail mix.
