This week on The Upswing, WTMJ’s Jeff Sherman explores two stories centered on growth and innovation. First, Tommy Pennington and Kevin Schmoldt, franchise owners of 7 Brew, discuss the drive-thru coffee chain’s expansion across Wisconsin, their community-first approach to site selection, and how new locations can help drive business for surrounding retailers. Later, Thomas Fisher of Platform94 joins the show following Summerfest Tech to discuss helping companies scale internationally, what Milwaukee can learn from its sister city of Galway, Ireland, and what it will take for the region to become an even stronger technology hub.
