A national drive-thru coffee brand is zeroing in on Pleasanton, with a compact new location planned that could be pouring drinks by this summer. State permit paperwork shows a roughly 550-square-foot buildout at 506 W Oaklawn Road, with construction slated to start in May and wrap up by August. The filing names a local developer as the project owner and categorizes the spot as a small cafe rather than a full sit-down restaurant. If the timeline holds, neighbors along the Oaklawn corridor can expect a fresh jolt of morning traffic and a handful of new service jobs.
According to What Now San Antonio, a filing with the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation lists the 506 W Oaklawn Road address, the May-to-August construction window, and Gregory DiCaro as the project owner. The outlet reports the buildout is roughly 550 square feet and notes that a call to the number on the permit confirmed DiCaro plans to open the cafe, although he did not share further details before publication. Those permit records are the first public indication that the brand is moving into Pleasanton.
7Brew traces its start to a drive-thru stand launched in Rogers, Arkansas in 2017 and has expanded rapidly since then. On its About page, 7Brew says it now operates hundreds of stands nationwide and touts more than 20,000 drink combinations, describing its mission as “cultivating kindness and joy with every drink.” That growth has turned the company into a regular presence in suburban retail corridors across the Sun Belt.
Local Developer Named On Permit
The state permit lists Gregory DiCaro as the owner, and public project and property records show DiCaro and affiliated companies appearing on other recent Pleasanton developments. A TDLR project listing for a nearby Lakeview Plaza filing identifies BROOKLYN DiCARO, LLC and Greg DiCaro as owner and contact, putting the family name on multiple local records. Taken together, those listings suggest the new 7Brew is likely part of broader small retail infill activity along Oaklawn Road rather than a one-off franchise play.
What Residents Should Expect
At around 550 square feet, the new spot is set to be compact, and whether it ultimately operates as a pure drive-thru kiosk or incorporates walk-up service will depend on final site plans and inspections. Other communities that have welcomed 7Brew locations have seen busy opening days and close attention to permits and traffic flow during the review process. coverage of similar builds shows that permitting and final site layout often determine how quickly a location opens and how neatly it fits into an existing retail strip.
