Fast-growing coffee chain officially acquires 63 bankrupt drive-thru locations for $123M

7 Brew has officially acquired 63 bankrupt drive-thru locations formerly owned by Salad and Go for $123M, successfully outbidding rival Dutch Bros. Simultaneously, fast casual chain Chipotle is expanding its drive-thru service to provide greater convenience for its customers.
