How we’re changing the game
Lola Beans is changing how drive-thru beverage brands think about speed, footprint, menu, and demand. By combining coffee, energy, infused sodas, and tea into one simple, high-volume model, Lola Beans captures more occasions, more customers, and more dayparts than traditional concepts.
The small footprint and streamlined operations flip the old playbook on its head, making it easier to place, easier to run, and easier to scale. This is what disruption looks like in real life. Not louder marketing. Smarter design, better flow, and a business built for how people actually buy drinks today.

Founders Donny & Missy Bradley named Lola Beans after their daughter, Lola, who has been lovingly called "Lola Beans" since she was just a tiny bean of a girl. When they were searching for the perfect name for their brand, they kept coming back to her sweet nickname—something that felt familiar, personal, and full of Good Energy. Just like Lola herself, the name embodies warmth, happiness, and the little moments that make life special—exactly what Lola Beans is all about.
