July 20, 2026 Town of Schererville Plan Commission Study Session

The Town of Schererville Plan Commission held a study session on July 20, 2026, primarily discussing two commercial development projects. The first was a proposal by Hooprew LLC to establish a 7 Brew Coffee drive-thru at 990 US41, the site of a recently vacated Wendy's. The discussion covered site plans, traffic management including a third drive-thru lane for peak times, signage options (pylon versus monument signs), landscaping, and compliance with town ordinances. The commission provided feedback on signage preferences and confirmed the project would proceed to a public hearing in August. The second project involved Coffee Cabin's plan to enhance its outdoor area at 350 West Lincoln Highway with a Tudor-style village facade featuring interactive displays and seasonal activities. The discussion addressed operational details, pedestrian access, parking, lighting, and potential future installation of public restrooms, with advice to consult the health department on requirements. Both projects aim to improve local commercial offerings, with no immediate contract awards or procurement decisions made during this session.
