7 Brew Plans New Drive-Thru Coffee Stand in Queensbury

A new drive-thru coffee stop is on the way to Queensbury this summer. 7 Brew is planning to open at 754 Upper Glen Street, bringing its beverage-only menu to the area.

The Arkansas-based coffee chain is known for quick service, upbeat energy, and a wide variety of customizable drinks. Its menu includes coffee, energy drinks, sodas, teas, lemonades, shakes, and more.

“Queensbury is a great market for 7 Brew, they don’t have anything that’s exactly like what we do,” said Nick Vidal, Director of Operations for Brew Team New York, in a News10 ABC article. “We really think the community of Queensbury is going to try us and like what we have to offer.”

The Queensbury stand was placed on Upper Glen Street on April 10 and is expected to open by the end of summer. Once open, customers can watch for special promotions and free drink opportunities to explore the menu.

The new location will be open from 5:30 a.m. to 10 p.m. Sunday through Thursday and from 5:30 a.m. to 11 p.m. Friday and Saturday. 7 Brew is also hiring for its Queensbury team, with applications available through the company’s website.

Celebrate 100 Years at The Queensbury Hotel

The Queensbury Hotel is marking a major milestone in 2026, celebrating 100 years since first opening its doors on May 7, 1926.

The official 100th anniversary lands on May 7, 2026, setting the stage for a year of events and recognition in downtown Glens Falls.

This year carries even more significance with another milestone layered in. March 26, 2026 marked 10 years since local owner Ed Moore purchased the hotel and began a new era of investment and revitalization.

How the Hotel Has Evolved

While the building’s historic character remains front and center, the past decade has brought steady updates behind the scenes. The focus has been on improving the guest experience while keeping the hotel closely tied to the local community.

Recent years have included:

• Large-scale renovations and restoration work across the property
• Expansion of event space, including the Adirondack Ballroom
• Updated accommodations and enhanced amenities
• Stronger connections with local arts, culture, and tourism groups

More Than Just a Place to Stay

The Queensbury’s role in Glens Falls goes beyond overnight stays. It has long been a setting for weddings, fundraisers, performances, and community gatherings, making it part of the shared history for many in the region.

That sense of connection is a big part of what this centennial celebrates. It is as much about the people and events as it is the building itself.

What to Expect This Year

To mark the occasion, the hotel is planning a full lineup of events, updates, and community-driven initiatives throughout 2026. Some are already underway, while others will roll out in the months ahead.

Here is a look at what is planned:

• Centennial Dine and Donate program supporting local nonprofits
• New centennial logo and merchandise available in the lobby marketplace
• A refreshed lobby space coming soon
• A permanent history wall highlighting 100 years of memories
• September 2, 2026: Family-friendly celebration in City Park
• December 12, 2026: Holiday open house

A Milestone Worth Watching

With both a centennial anniversary and a decade of local ownership, this year stands out as one of the most meaningful in the hotel’s history. More details on events and celebrations are expected as the year unfolds.
