Citizens Memorial Hospital’s service footprint expanded Dec. 6 with the launch of CMH Willard Medical Center and Walk-in Clinic. The 14th medical center for CMH is at 502 S. Miller Road.

Led by Dr. Mylhan Myers, the medical center includes family medicine, behavioral health, obstetrics, pediatrics, women’s health, digital X-ray and laboratory services in its primary care clinic.

7 Brew Coffee
Fayetteville, Arkansas-based 7 Brew Coffee made its Queen City debut with a Dec. 4 opening at 2317 N. Glenstone Ave. Chris Sebald, who lives in Springdale, Arkansas, is a franchisee in the business via Brew Crew LLC with brother Brandon Sebald and their friend Larry Wilson. He declined to disclose their investment, and the 7 Brew website doesn’t list franchise fees. Chris Sebald said the 7 Brew shops are in prefabricated buildings and have dual drive-thru lanes with a focus on iced and hot coffee, shakes, smoothies, energy drinks, teas and Italian sodas. Prices range $2-$7, according to its menu. Rebecca Brown is manager of the 50-employee Springfield shop, he said. Sebald said the franchisees have most of the state in their territory, except for Kansas City and Branson. Springfield’s second 7 Brew is planned to open in March at 1455 W. Battlefield Road, he said. Since starting in 2017, the coffee chain has expanded to 12 shops in Arkansas and one in Joplin, according to its website.
