We are proud to have helped more than 25,000 seniors maintain higher levels of dignity and respect. We focus on providing seniors with the highest level of in-home care available so that they may live happily and independently.

To make sure our senior clients receive the best care possible, we pair them with compassionate caregivers who understand their unique needs. That way, they may provide care accordingly without compromising their wellbeing.

The Always Best Care difference lies in life's little moments - where compassionate care and trustworthy experience come together to help seniors live a fruitful, healthy life.

What is Non-Medical Senior Care in El Paso, TX?

lm-check

Home is where the heart is. While that saying can sound a tad cliche, it is especially true for many seniors living in America. When given a choice, older adults most often prefer to grow older at home. An AARP study found that three out of four adults over the age of 50 want to stay in their homes and communities as they age.

lm-check

When you begin to think about why, it makes sense. Home offers a sense of security, comfort, and familiarity.

lm-check

The truth is, as we age, we begin to rely on others for help. When a family is too busy or lives too far away to fulfill this role, in-home senior care is often the best solution. Home care services allow seniors to enjoy personal independence while also receiving trustworthy assistance from a trained caregiver.

lm-check

At Always Best Care, we offer a comprehensive range of home care services to help seniors stay healthy while they get the help they need to remain independent. As your senior loved one gets older, giving them the gift of senior care is one of the best ways to show your love, even if you live far away.

Respite Care

Respite Care Services

According to AARP, more than 53 million adults living in the U.S. provide care to someone over 50 years old. Unfortunately, these caregivers experience stress, exhaustion, and even depression. Our respite care services help family caregivers address urgent obligations, spend time with their children, and enjoy nearby activities. Perhaps more importantly, respite care gives family members time to recharge and regroup. Taking personal time to de-stress reduces the risk of caregiver burnout. Doing so is great for both you and your loved one.

At the end of the day, our goal is to become a valuable part of your senior's daily routine. That way, we may help give them the highest quality of life possible. We know that staying at home is important for your loved one, and we are here to help make sure that is possible.

If you have been on the fence about non-medical home care, there has never been a better time than now to give your senior the care, assistance, and companionship they deserve.

Aging in Place: The Preferred Choice for Most Seniors

While it's true that some seniors have complicated medical needs that prevent them from staying at home, aging in place is often the best arrangement for seniors and their families. With a trusted caregiver, seniors have the opportunity to live with a sense of dignity and do so as they see fit - something that is unavailable to many older people today.

In-home care makes it possible for millions of seniors to age in place every year. Rather than moving to a strange nursing home, seniors have the chance to stay at home where they feel the happiest and most comfortable.

Here are just a few of the reasons why older men and women prefer to age at home:

How much does a senior's home truly mean to them?

A study published by the American Society on Aging found that more than half of seniors say their home's emotional value means more than how much their home is worth in monetary value. It stands to reason, then, that a senior's home is where they want to grow old.

With the help of elderly care in El Paso, TX, seniors don't have to age in a sterilized care facility. Instead, they can age gracefully in the place they want to be most: their home. In contrast, seniors who move to a long-term care facility must adapt to new environments, new people, and new systems that the facility implements. At this stage in life, this kind of drastic change can be more harmful than helpful.

Institutional care facilities like nursing homes often put large groups of people together to live in one location. On any given day, dozens of staff members and caregivers run in and out of these facilities. Being around so many new people in a relatively small living environment can be dangerous for a seniors' health and wellbeing. When you consider that thousands of seniors passed away in nursing homes during the COVID-19 pandemic, opting for in-home care is often a safer, healthier choice for seniors.

Aging in place has been shown to improve seniors' quality of life, which helps boost physical health and also helps insulate them from viral and bacterial risks found in elderly living facilities.

For many seniors, the ability to live independently with assistance from a caregiver is a priceless option. With in-home care, seniors experience a higher level of independence and freedom - much more so than in other settings like a nursing home. When a senior has the chance to age in place, they get to live life on their own terms, inside the house that they helped make into a home. More independence means more control over their personal lives, too, which leads to increased levels of fulfillment, happiness, and personal gratification. Over time, these positive feelings can manifest into a healthier, longer life.

More independence, a healthier life, and increased comfort are only a few benefits of aging in place. You have to take into consideration the role of cost and convenience. Simply put, it's usually easier and more affordable to help seniors age in place than it is to move them into an institutional care facility. According to the US Department of Housing and Urban Development, seniors who age in the comfort of their homes can save thousands of dollars per month.

In-home care services from Always Best Care, for instance, are often less expensive than long-term solutions, which can cost upwards of six figures per year. To make matters worse, many residential care facilities are reluctant to accept long-term care insurance and other types of payment assistance.

With Always Best Care's home care services, seniors and their families have a greater level of control over their care plans. In-home care gives seniors the chance to form a bond with a trusted caregiver and also receive unmatched care that is catered to their needs. In long-term care facilities, seniors and their loved ones have much less control over their care plan and have less of a say in who provides their care.

 Elderly Care El Paso, TX

Affordable Care

In-home care is a valuable resource that empowers seniors to age in place on their own terms. However, a big concern for many families and their loved ones is how much in-home care costs. If you're worried that in-home care is too expensive, you may be pleasantly surprised to learn that it is one of the most affordable senior care arrangements available.

Typically, hiring an Always Best Care in-home caregiver for a few hours a week is more affordable than sending your loved one to a long-term care facility. This is true even for seniors with more complex care needs.

At Always Best Care, we will work closely with you and your family to develop a Care Plan that not only meets your care needs, but your budget requirements, too. Once we discover the level of care that you or your senior need, we develop an in-home care plan that you can afford.

In addition to our flexible care options, families should also consider the following resources to help offset potential home care costs:

If your loved one qualifies, Medicaid may help reduce in-home care costs. Review your TX's Medicaid program laws and benefits, and make sure your senior's financial and medical needs meet Medicaid eligibility requirements.
Attendance and aid benefits through military service can cover a portion of the costs associated with in-home care for veterans and their spouses.
Many senior care services like in-home care are included in long-term care insurance options. Research different long-term care solutions to find a plan that provides coverage for senior care.
Home care can be included as part of a senior's private insurance plan. Read over your loved one's insurance policy carefully or speak with their insurance provider to determine if in-home care is covered.
Depending on the life insurance plan, you may be able to apply your policy toward long-term care. You may be able to use long-term-care coverage to help pay for in-home elderly care.
 Senior Care El Paso, TX

Compassionate Care. Trusted Caregivers.

When you or your senior loved one needs assistance managing daily tasks at home, finding a qualified caregiver can be challenging. It takes a special kind of person to provide reliable care for your senior loved one. However, a caregiver's role involves more than meal preparation and medication reminders. Many seniors rely on their caregivers for companionship, too.

Our companion care services give seniors the chance to socialize in a safe environment and engage in activities at home. These important efforts boost morale and provide much-needed relief from repetitive daily routines. A one-on-one, engaging conversation can sharpen seniors' minds and give them something in which to be excited.

At Always Best Care, we only hire care providers that we would trust to care for our own loved ones. Our senior caregivers in El Paso, TX understand how important it is to listen and communicate with their seniors. A seemingly small interaction, like a short hug goodbye, can make a major difference in a senior's day. Instead of battling against feelings of isolation, seniors begin to look forward to seeing their caregiver each week.

Understanding the nuances of senior care is just one of the reasons why our care providers are so great at their job.

Unlike some senior care companies, our caregivers must undergo extensive training before they work for Always Best Care. In addition, our caregivers receive ongoing training throughout the year. This training ensures that their standard of care matches up to the high standards we've come to expect. During this training, they will brush up on their communication skills, safety awareness, and symptom spotting. That way, your loved one receives the highest level of non-medical home care from day one.

Assisted Living Referral Services

While it's true that many seniors prefer to age at home, sometimes in-home care isn't the best fit. For those seniors and their families, choosing an assisted living facility makes more sense. Unfortunately, finding the optimal care facility is easier said than done in today's day and age. That's when Always Best Care's assisted living referral services begin to make a lot of sense.

Assisted living is a form of housing intended for seniors who require varying degrees of medical and personal attention. Accommodations may include single rooms, apartments, or shared living arrangements. Assisted living communities are typically designed to resemble a home-like environment and are physically constructed to encourage the independence of residents.


Respite Care El Paso, TX

At assisted living communities, seniors receive help with daily activities such as bathing, dressing, and eating. They may also benefit from coordination of services with outside healthcare providers, and monitoring of resident activities to ensure their health, safety, and well-being. Caregivers who work at assisted living communities can also provide medication administration and personal care services for older adults.

Other services offered within assisted living communities can include some or all of the following:

  • Housekeeping
  • Laundry
  • Recreational Activities
  • Social Outings
  • Emergency Medical Response
  • Medication Monitoring
  • Family Visitation
  • Personal Care
 Caregivers El Paso, TX

At Always Best Care, our representatives can match your senior's emotional, physical, and financial needs with viable assisted living communities nearby. Results are based on comparative data, so you can select the best choice for you or your loved one.

Always Best Care works closely with local senior living communities to gain valuable knowledge that we then use to help seniors and their loved ones make informed decisions. This information can include basic care and rent, resident availability, and services provided. Because Always Best Care is compensated by these communities, we provide senior living referral services at no extra cost to you.

Home Care El Paso, TX

For many seniors, moving into a senior living community revolves around how and when they want to make a transition to more involved care. Some seniors are more proactive about transitioning to independent living. Others choose to remain home until their care needs or other requirements are satisfied. Remember - our staff is here to help. Contact our office today to learn more about assisted living communities and how we can find a facility that exceeds your expectations.

 In-Home Care El Paso, TX

Taking the First Step with Always Best Care

The first step in getting quality in-home care starts with a personal consultation with an experienced Always Best Care Care Coordinator. This initial consultation is crucial for our team to learn more about you or your elderly loved one to discover the level of care required. Topics of this consultation typically include:

A discussion of your needs and how our trained caregivers can offer assistance in the most effective way

lm-right-arrow

A draft of your care plan, which includes highly detailed notes and a framework for the care that you or your senior will receive

lm-right-arrow
02

Discuss payment options and help coordinate billing with your insurance provider

lm-right-arrow
03

Our caregivers are trained to spot changes that clients exhibit, like mental and physical decline. As your trusted senior care company, we will constantly assess and update your Care Plan to meet any new emotional, intellectual, physical, and emotional needs.

If you have never considered in-home care before, we understand that you and your family may have concerns about your Care Plan and its Care Coordinator. To help give you peace of mind, know that every team member and caregiver must undergo comprehensive training before being assigned to a Care Plan.

At the end of the day, we only hire the best of the best at Always Best Care. Whether you need home care in El Paso, TX 24-hours a day or only need a respite for a couple of hours, we are here to serve you.

When you're ready, we encourage you to contact your local Always Best Care representative to set up a Care Consultation. Our Care Coordinators would be happy to meet with you in person to get to know you better, discuss your needs, and help put together a personalized Care Plan specific to your needs.

EL PASO, Texas (KFOX14/CBS4) — County officials announced the construction of a racing venue near Fabens, a project that they hope will become the Borderland's next major tourist destination.

On Wednesday, El Paso County held a press conference to announce the planned construction of the "Pan American Speedway," a new racing venue that will open north of the Fabens area.

"So they'll have racing tracks, they'll have outdoor space, space for community activities, concerts," said El Paso County Commissioner for Precinct 3 Iliana Holguin.

Holguin believes the $17 million project will boost the local economy by adding jobs and attracting tourism.

"We're going to see visitors from all over the Southwest and Mexico come to our county for this recreational activity," Holguin said.

What will Pan Am Speedway look like?

According to Pan Am Speedway, the venue will have tracks for go-karts as well as another course for cars, sports cars and other types of racing vehicles, modeled after the Circuit of the Americas tracks in Austin.

There will also be garages for rent and condominiums on-site for racing enthusiasts to buy, so they can keep their sports car and other equipment by the track.

The company hopes the project will grow into a "huge compound," adding that there is land in the adjacent area to build hotels and restaurants.

"There is nothing like this in El Paso, there's nothing like this within six hours," said the CEO of Pan Am Speedway.

When asked why the company chose Fabens, the company said that it was due to how close the area was to the international border crossing, adding that the racetrack is expected to attract racing enthusiasts from Mexico and South America.

The project is expected to break ground sometime between September and October, adding that construction will be handled by Aztec Contractors, Inc.

Possible opening will be in late 2026.

Furthermore, for the next 30 days, Paul Karsko, Pan Am's CFO, said the company is looking to meet with local investors and businesses interested in becoming partners or sponsors.

El Paso, Texas’ quintessential border city, has begun its resistance against the implementation of the Camp East Montana immigration detention center, built on the Fort Bliss military base, less than 15 minutes away from downtown. The facility — whose first inmates arrived in mid-August — is projected to be the largest of its kind in U.S. history, with a capacity for 5,000 people. To this end, the Department of Defense has approved an investment of approximately $1.2 billion for its expansion over the next two years....

El Paso, Texas’ quintessential border city, has begun its resistance against the implementation of the Camp East Montana immigration detention center, built on the Fort Bliss military base, less than 15 minutes away from downtown. The facility — whose first inmates arrived in mid-August — is projected to be the largest of its kind in U.S. history, with a capacity for 5,000 people. To this end, the Department of Defense has approved an investment of approximately $1.2 billion for its expansion over the next two years.

Around the military base in the Texas desert, hundreds of protesters have been demonstrating for days against the extreme conditions at the site, a vast open-air tent facility. The accusations center primarily on the heat experienced by detainees in a desert region of a state suffering a heat wave since early August, with temperatures almost constantly above 40°C (104°F). Furthermore, deficiencies in the water and food supply, as well as inadequate medical care, have also been reported.

The center, informally known as the “Lone Star Lockup,” began operating with an initial capacity of 1,000 people. According to Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), it will eventually include medical services, recreational areas, and libraries. However, local activists report that its current conditions are precarious and detainees’ rights are systematically violated.

Melissa López, director of Estrella del Paso, an organization that provides legal assistance to migrants, highlighted at a press conference Thursday the contradiction between what ICE told Democratic Congresswoman Jasmine Crockett — who had visited the site shortly beforehand — and the reality her organization deals with every day. For example, Crockett was informed that in-person legal visits were already possible without supervision, while Estrella del Paso attorneys have only been authorized for telephone contacts. “Yesterday we were told one thing, today the congresswoman was told another. This contradiction is dangerous, and we will continue to demand that access to legal representation be guaranteed,” López stated.

At the meeting, Jovanny Sebastián Hernández, organizer of the New Mexico Dream Team, a support group for undocumented immigrants, highlighted the enormous expense involved in the construction of the site. “The opening of this concentration camp violates our shared values. That money could be used for healthcare, education, and housing, not mass detention,” he argued. He also recounted the testimonies of detainees suffering from weight loss, lack of medical care, and limited access to clothing and shoes.

Meanwhile, attorney Becca Sheff of the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) stated that the opening of this detention center “is not about security, but about instilling fear and accelerating deportations without due process.” Sheff recounted the case of a Venezuelan immigrant who was found unconscious after not receiving timely medical attention and was also denied visits from his legal representatives. “Each bed is not a number; it’s a person who came seeking dignity and safety. History has taught us what happens when we let fear dictate policy. We cannot repeat those horrors,” the attorney said.

During World War II, Fort Bliss housed people considered “enemy aliens,” primarily of German and Italian descent. While it was not one of the main internment centers for people of Japanese descent, it was part of the military system that managed prisoners of war and targeted detentions. Decades later, during Trump’s first presidency, it was used to house unaccompanied migrant minors. And, following the withdrawal of U.S. troops from Afghanistan in 2021, it welcomed thousands of refugees as part of Operation Allies Welcome.

Now, the use of military facilities to detain migrants en masse is causing fear among activists and progressive politicians. Human rights organizations such as the ACLU and Human Rights Watch have warned that the Trump administration is using sites designed for war and national defense to detain civilians. This is a problem, they say, because it complicates oversight and limits transparency.

These two oversight mechanisms were demanded by El Paso County Commissioner Jackie Butler in a resolution filed this month. In the document, Butler warned that the multimillion-dollar contract for the construction and operation of the facility was awarded without public consultation to a firm with no experience in civil detention (called Acquisition Logistics LLC). She also emphasized how the center will affect the area’s infrastructure and public services.

Democratic Congresswoman Verónica Escobar of El Paso also visited Camp East Montana this week and criticized the waste of resources used for its construction. “How much good would that money do if it were spent on childcare, healthcare, or preschool education?” she asked. Meanwhile, Republican politicians like Texas Senator John Cornyn have supported the initiative. Cornyn recently toured the facility and called it an improvement over previous conditions. He also asserted that the new center will alleviate the overcrowding that exists at other immigration detention centers and allow for more efficient processing of cases.

The Trump administration has repeatedly announced that it is seeking to expand its detention capacity for migrants in the deportation queue, which already exceeds historic records with some 60,000 detainees, which is also well above the 40,000 total beds available to ICE. In recent months, some of the largest, previously unused facilities have reopened and new migrant prisons have been built; the most notable of which has been the so-called Alligator Alcatraz, built in just days in the middle of the harsh swamp and mangrove ecosystem of the Everglades, west of Miami. If those who oppose it fail to halt its expansion, Camp East Montana at Fort Bliss will dwarf all others.

August continues to be a great month to check out the skies. This month offers one of the best opportunities to see the Milky Way.

The center of our galaxy is teeming with billions of stars that generally are visible from Earth, but at certain times of the year, they are even more vibrant.

As summer nears its end, so does the so-called Milky Way season (February to October) in the United States. Fortunately, stargazers still have a chance to glimpse the Milky Way's iconic arc of lights in the night sky.

Here's what to know about the Milky Way and how to see it.

What is the Milky Way galaxy?

The Milky Way is our home galaxy with a disc of stars that spans more than 100,000 light-years. Because it appears as a rotating disc curving out from a dense central region, the Milky Way is known as a spiral galaxy.

Play the USA TODAY Daily Crossword Puzzle.

Planet Earth sits along one of the galaxy's spiral arms, about halfway from the center, according to NASA.

The Milky Way sits in a cosmic neighborhood called the Local Group that includes more than 50 other galaxies. Those galaxies can be as "small" as a dwarf galaxy with up to only a few billion stars or as large as Andromeda, our nearest large galactic neighbor.

Why is it called the Milky Way?

The Milky Way got its name because, from our perspective on Earth, it appears as a faint, milky band of light stretching across the sky.

How to view Milky Way

Though the Milky Way is generally always visible from Earth, certain times of year are better for stargazers to catch a glimpse of the band of billions of stars.

But because visibility from Earth depends on the latitude, the further south you go, the longer the Milky Way season will last. For instance, in the Northern Hemisphere, which includes the continental United States, the best time to see the Milky Way is generally from March to September, according to Capture the Atlas.

What you're looking at when the Milky Way is visible is the bright center of our galaxy, "seen edge-on from our position within the galaxy's disk," Preston Dyches, who hosts NASA's "What's Up," a monthly video series that describes what's happening in the night sky, wrote in June for NASA.

When to watch the Milky Way in August 2025

The center of the Milky Way, which Dyches refers to as "the core," became visible in June and is expected to shine every night through August as it gets higher in a darker sky.

Typically, the sky is darkest from about midnight to 5 a.m., according to Capture the Atlas. You can check sunrise and sunset times at your location using the website TimeAndDate. El Paso, Texas, currently has sunrise at about 6:30 a.m. MT and sunset at 7:42 p.m. MT.

"This doesn’t mean that as soon as the sun goes down you can see the Milky Way," writes Dan Zafra, co-founder of Capture the Atlas. "Even if it’s in the sky, the Milky Way will be barely visible during blue hour, so you’ll have to wait at least until the end of the astronomical twilight to see all the details of the Milky Way."

This month, the Milky Way will be diagonal at the beginning of the night, vertical during the middle of the night, and low above the horizon at the end of the night, according to Capture the Atlas.

Tips on best way to see Milky Way

Spectators will have the best luck on cloud-free nights and in locations away from city light pollution.

Of the 159 locations in the United States that are designated dark sky communities, there are more than 10 locations in Texas. They include:

Big Bend Ranch State Park near Terlingua, Texas

Greater Big Bend International Dark Sky Reserve in Fort Davis, Texas

Black Gap Wildlife Management Area

Devils River State Natural Area in Del Rio area.

South Llano River State Park in Junction, Texas.

Copper Breaks State Park in northern Texas.

UBarU Camp and Retreat Center in southwest Gillespie County, Texas.

Stargazers can observe the Milky Way galaxy by looking for the Summer Triangle, a shape formed by "three bright stars" that spans across the Milky Way, according to science news website LiveScience.

In the Northern Hemisphere, the Milky Way rises in the southeast, travels across the southern sky and sets in the southwest, according to Weather.com.

Palenque Grill Expands to El Paso: Don Pancho Ochoa’s Legacy of Family, Flavor, and Community

By Roberto Hugo González

At the ribbon-cutting ceremony for the newest Palenque Grill in El Paso, Texas, on August 20, 2025, José Ochoa reflected on what the brand represents.

“For me, Palenque Grill is more than a restaurant with delicious food and warm service. It represents tradition, it represents family, and above all, it represents the human connection we want to build with the community through hospitality and warmth,” he said.

José, a trained chef and the youngest of Don Pancho’s sons, credited his father as the visionary behind the group’s growth. “None of this would have been possible without the vision, leadership, and inspiration of a great man—my father and our founder, Don Pancho Ochoa.”

Juan Francisco “Don Pancho” Ochoa, founder of El Pollo Loco and later the Palenque Group restaurants, has built one of the most enduring entrepreneurial legacies in Mexican and Texan culinary history. Over five decades, Ochoa and his family expanded their vision of authentic Mexican dining into more than 50 restaurants across Texas, creating thousands of jobs and strengthening both the U.S. and Mexican economies.

Taking the microphone after his son, Don Pancho spoke about the family’s journey. “My wife sends her regards. She couldn’t be here today, but she has always been a pillar since we began this dream over 50 years ago,” he said. He recalled the early expansion of El Pollo Loco throughout Mexico, later bringing it to Los Angeles, and the creation of Palenque Grill in 2005. “Today we are opening the seventh Palenque Grill, and in a few months, we’ll open the eighth in Brownsville, Texas,” he added.

The founder emphasized gratitude to God, his family, and his team. “We started with family, and later added managers, marketing experts, and professionals who made everything possible,” he explained. Above all, he thanked the kitchen staff and front-line workers who “create the unique flavors we are known for.”

In recognition of the family’s contributions, Daniel Flores, representing Congresswoman Veronica Escobar, presented a U.S. Congressional Recognition at the El Paso ceremony. “First, congratulations to everyone who has been part of this project in our city. It is my pleasure to present this U.S. Congressional Recognition to the Ochoa family. Congratulations, and much success,” Flores said.

Faith also remains central to the Ochoa family’s journey. At the El Paso opening, Father Germán of the Diocese of El Paso offered a blessing, praying for the restaurant, its employees, and future endeavors. “Christ dignified work by being called the son of a carpenter and working with His own hands. Work is no longer a curse but a blessing,” the priest noted before sprinkling holy water.

The recognition of Don Pancho extends beyond Texas. Pablo Castro Zavala, President of Public Relations and Hispanic Affairs for the Las Vegas Walk of Stars, recalled honoring Ochoa in Nevada for his business and social contributions. “Las Vegas honored him with his own star in front of the Paris Hotel Casino. Authorities even proclaimed an official ‘Juan Francisco Pancho Ochoa Day.’ His star is right next to José José, Engelbert Humperdinck, Martín Noriega, Carmen Salinas, and others,” Castro Zavala said.

Since its founding in 2005, Palenque Grill has expanded to San Antonio, Corpus Christi, Brownsville, McAllen, and now El Paso. The Palenque Group also includes Taco Palenque, bringing the total to more than 50 establishments across Texas. Speaking about the group’s formula for success, Don Pancho explained, “Our success lies in serving the best authentic Mexican dishes with top-quality ingredients, balanced recipes, and ensuring the best service at fair prices.”

Beyond food, the group has created thousands of jobs and supported humanitarian causes, reinforcing the Ochoa family’s reputation as both entrepreneurs and philanthropists. “Thank you infinitely, because without you, we could not have come this far,” Don Pancho said, addressing staff, guests, and community members at the opening.

The El Paso location, inside Cielo Vista Mall and less than four miles from Ciudad Juárez, Chihuahua, represents more than just expansion. For the Ochoa family, it is the continuation of a legacy that blends cuisine, tradition, and community spirit—values rooted in family but shared across borders.

A new coffee spot is coming to Northeast El Paso.

7Brew Drive-Thru Coffee is a national chain that launched in Rogers, Arkansas, and now boasts dozens of locations across the country, from New York to Alabama, North Carolina to Utah.

The company began with a simple mission to revolutionize drive-thru coffee service. Beginning with only seven specialty coffee drinks, 7Brew now offers a wide variety of coffees, energy drinks, fizzes, teas, lemonades, smoothies and shakes.

Where is it?

The new 7Brew Drive-Thru Coffee location will be setting up shop at 9601 Dyer St., according to the city's permit and licensing website.

Play the USA TODAY Daily Crossword Puzzle.

The building sits at the corner of Dyer Street and Hondo Pass Drive, next to the Walmart Neighborhood Market and across the street from a shopping center that's home to PB's Pizza, Dollar Tree and other shops.

What was there before?

The future home of 7Brew Drive-Thru Coffee was previously the headquarters for Ultra Electrical Service, now located at 7900 Craddock Ave.

It’s unclear how long the building has been vacant; multiple calls to Ultra Electrical Service went unanswered.

Who is the contractor?

The application for the project was submitted by Erin Dudley of CEI Engineering Associates of Bentonville, Arkansas.

The development is valued at $750,000.

The new coffee shop is owned by 7B New Mexico LLC. It is unlikely that the building currently standing at the location will be used for the coffee shop, as the application calls for a 510-square-foot prefabricated building and six new parking spots.
