Read about beverage chain 7-Brew and its new location in Petal
A national drive-thru beverage chain is opening a new stand in Petal later this summer and recently dropped the stand on-site at 1150 Evelyn Gandy Parkway. The beverage chain is expanding its Pine Belt footprint with the soon-to-be-open Petal location . There are already 7-Brew locations in Hattiesburg, Laurel and Columbia and the Petal location is expected to open on Sept. 7. "All of those locations have had really good turnouts," said Ethan Flynt director of development with 7-Brew in Mississippi. "The communities have shown up and shown out when it comes to donations and coming through the line. It's been really nice." The company has over 775 stands throughout the nation, and the Petal location is expected to add 80 jobs to the area. "Every 7-Brew that we open gives so many people different job opportunities and such a fun environment to work with," Flynt said. "I always encourage people who are looking for a career or looking for something naturally something to do." The new location will take donations for Petal Children's Taskforce, which is a program that helps provide for families and children in the area.

Vietnamese restaurant Pho Saigon opens new location in Hattiesburg
Pho Saigon, a favorite restaurant for many people in Hattiesburg , opened a second location on June 17 and is expanding the reach of authentic Vietnamese food in the city. Located at 5182 Old Highway 11, Pho Saigon II serves authentic Vietnamese food made with fresh ingredients. The second location currently features the same menu as the first location that has been on Hardy Street for years. "I just want all people to know that this location has the same owner and the same kind of food," said Hung Ta, owner of Pho Saigon. "Maybe in the future I will make a lot more new dishes. I want to make some kind of difference from the first one and second one." Ta bought the first location four years ago after the previous owners approached him about taking over the business. "The old owner ran the business down and tried to sell it to me to bring it up," Ta said. "They told me they didn't want the only Vietnamese restaurant in Hattiesburg to close down." Upon taking over, Ta changed everything. He created a new menu and introduced different styles of service. He has worked in restaurants for 19 years
