"Dallas-based coffee and matcha chain La La Land has secured an investment from New York firm Stripes to propel expansion beyond Texas and California. The 24-location coffee chain - whose brand messaging, menu and cohesive interior design have proved popular with social influencers - said the investment is aimed squarely at nationwide expansion and to "elevate product innovation and service for its guests." The terms of the investment were not disclosed. It follows a $20 million private investment in the company made in 2023."
"In addition to its social messaging, the brand leans into a "dream-world" aesthetic with bright white interiors, saturated yellow accents and photo-ready drinks that are often iced and cream-topped. The chain also offers avocado toast and fruit toast. Beyond the Dallas-Fort Worth area, the chain has shops in Houston, greater Los Angeles and Nashville. Recent openings include a high-profile store on Austin's South Congress Avenue, while the brand's first San Antonio shop, at The Shops at La Cantera, is nearing completion."
