According to the Pinnacle at Turkey Creek events calendar, the center promoted a March 2 grand opening for the new stand. As shown on 7 Brew, the Turkey Creek location at 11495 Parkside Drive lists that same March 2 opening date.
As reported by Knoxville News Sentinel, the drive‑thru is open daily from 5:30 a.m. to 10 p.m. and is serving signature drinks such as Key Lime Pie, Nightshade 7 energy, and Cookie Butter.
