7Brew traffic control
Drivers weren’t the only ones surprised Saturday morning by the long lines of drivers trying to take advantage of a 7 Brew promotion.
The center lane on South Madison Street was full all the way from 7 Brew south to Fountain Road. At the same time, drivers were trying to enter from the north on Madison Street and the entrance to Walmart.
Police Chief Don Melton says his department was caught off guard by the traffic surge.
“The officers on duty were overwhelmed dealing with traffic congestion because of the promotion,” Melton says.
“We were not made aware of the promotion & will be reaching out to 7 Brew.”
There are reports online about similar traffic problems were at other 7 Brew locations.
Customers received a set of Needoh Squishy toys. Of course, some customers immediately sought to take advantage by reselling the Doh on ebay.
