New Haven, CT – July 2025 – In a significant boost for the local retail landscape—and a feather in the cap for Levey Miller Maretz—Senior Vice President Arin Hayden has successfully negotiated a 15-year lease with powerhouse drive-thru coffee brand 7 Brew Coffee, represented by Jack Hayes of The Sullivan Hayes Group, securing their next Connecticut location at 1457 Whalley Avenue, nestled in New Haven’s bustling Westville neighborhood.
