7 Brew bets on budget-friendly drive-thru coffee to crowd coffee deserts

Arkansas-based 7 Brew is rapidly expanding its drive-thru coffee chain, now with more than 700 locations across 38 states and about 340 more planned, aiming to surpass 1,000 sites within a year. The chain targets towns with little coffee competition, pricing drinks around $5 to undercut Starbucks and Dunkin, and offering thousands of drink combinations with a straightforward loyalty program. Sales jumped from about $502 million in 2024 to nearly $1.2 billion last year, backed by Blackstone and Franchise Equity Partners. As it scales, 7 Brew faces the challenge of maintaining the “third space” cafe experience and consistent quality while competing with larger chains and staying true to its fast, low-cost model.

Tesla nudges Model Y prices higher as margins tighten

Tesla raised prices on higher-end Model Y trims in the U.S. for the first time in two years: Premium RWD and Premium AWD each +$1,000, and the Performance variant +$500, while entry-level trims stay at $39,990 and $41,990. The move aligns with a shift toward higher margins as demand stabilizes and comes alongside new paint colors and signals for a future Model Y L three-row version.

Planet Fitness stock slides after guidance cut and paused pricing plan

Planet Fitness stock plunged more than 30% after it cut its full-year guidance, trimming revenue growth to 7% (from 9%), lowering same-store sales to 1% (vs 4–5%), and pausing a planned Black Card price increase, even as the quarter posted 21.9% revenue growth and 3.5% same-club sales; management cited weaker net member growth and other headwinds and said it would sharpen marketing while pursuing a long-term plan focused on affordability and member acquisition.

Sony Was Right: Subscriptions Struggle to Fund Big First-Party Games

Opinion piece argues Sony’s caution on day-one, all-you-can-play subscriptions was prescient. It cites Microsoft’s Game Pass price hikes and the COD inclusion as signs the model is financially fragile, while Sony’s PS Plus Extra is valuable without day-one exclusives—despite Horizon joining later. The author suggests the Netflix-for-games idea is fading, MS may pivot, and Sony’s approach appears more sustainable for long-term profitability.

PepsiCo warns Iran conflict could push prices higher amid inflation fight

PepsiCo warned that the Iran war could raise input costs and, by extension, consumer prices, even as it previously cut snack prices to combat inflation. The company expects to offset higher costs through its supply infrastructure, productivity gains, and adjustments to its price-pack architecture, with six to 12 months of hedging offering some protection. In the latest quarter, revenue rose 8.5% to $19.4 billion and net income climbed 27% to $2.3 billion, helped by rebounding North American snack volumes and resilient international markets.

Nintendo tests price split: digital Switch 2 games priced lower than physical

Nintendo announced it will charge different prices for first-party Switch 2 games depending on format, starting with Yoshi and the Mysterious Book: $60 digitally on the eShop versus $70 at retail on May 21.

Digital buyers get a discount, while physical purchasers pay more even though cartridges can function as download key cards, highlighting ongoing cost pressures in physical game production.

Nintendo’s Switch 2 Price Stays Put as RAM Costs Drift, Install Base Is Priority

Nintendo says it has not decided to raise the Switch 2 price despite RAM/memory price spikes, citing long-term supplier deals and inventory stockpiles; if costs persist longer, pricing could be reconsidered, but the company is prioritizing expanding the Switch 2’s install base to drive software sales rather than jumping to a $500 price tag.

Inkle tests impulse-buy pricing with TR-49 at $7

Inkle’s Jon Ingold says TR-49 was priced at $7 to spur impulse purchases in a saturated, algorithm-driven market. The Jan. 21 launch became Inkle’s best in 14 years, selling about twice Expelled in the same window, though revenue is modest and ROI remains unclear. The pricing is part of a strategy to prompt immediate buys rather than wishlist/wait-for-sale behavior, aided by the studio’s low overhead and growing back catalog.

Eight-Dollar Pricing: How Perceived Value Makes $8 Feel Like $5

Eight-Dollar Pricing: How Perceived Value Makes $8 Feel Like $5

Indie developers examined price perception, concluding $8 sits at the upper threshold of a $5 mental price tier. In players’ minds, prices around $6–$7.99 are still seen as $5, while higher amounts can be discounted or mapped to other tiers (e.g., $12->10, $13->15). The finding suggests $8 is a strategically optimal price point that avoids tipping into a higher perceived bracket.
