Lola Beans Releases Item 19 Showing Strongest Financial Performance in Brand History

May 26, 2026 // FranchisePR.com // CLEVELAND, TN — When Donny and Missy Bradley founded Lola Beans in 2020, they were chasing the kind of drive-thru coffee experience they’d fallen in love with in Alaska — a small, craveable coffee shack where they knew you by name. Five years later, what started as a simple dream has grown into a remarkably strong business model, built on creativity and the power of keeping things simple. Lola Beans has released updated financial performance representations in Item 19 of its Franchise Disclosure Document (FDD), reflecting full-year 2025 results from the company’s corporate location.

The updated disclosure includes financial results from the company’s corporate location for calendar year 2025. Perhaps the most striking number is revenue per square foot: $2,981* in 2025, up from $2,592* the year before — and well above the roughly $2,000-per-square-foot benchmark cited for high-performing coffee concepts.(NorthMarq)

The newly disclosed figures show:

• 2025 Gross Revenue: $1,555,669.79* — up from $1,321,943* in 2024
• Franchisee Adjusted EBITDA: $322,957.07* — a 21.44%* margin after all franchise fees, including a 6% royalty, 2% brand fund, and 1% local marketing contribution
• Revenue Per Square Foot: $2,981.73* in 2025, up from $2,592.04* in 2024
• Total Net Sales: $1,520,680.79* with a prime cost of 53.6%*

The company’s current model is designed around a small-format, drive-thru-focused footprint, generally ranging from approximately 600 to 900 square feet.

“We’ve poured a lot into this model since day one,” said Donny Bradley, co-founder of Lola Beans. “We’re constantly improving operations, investing in marketing, and being intentional about every decision we make. But at the end of the day, none of the systems or strategies matter if you’re not treating guests like they’re the center of your world and serving a high-quality product every single time. That’s why we got into this business in the first place, to make people’s day better, one beverage at a time.”

“Lola Beans was designed to feel like a moment of happiness for anyone who comes through the drive-thru,” added Missy Bradley, co-founder of Lola Beans. “We want people to feel welcomed, cared for, and excited about what they’re getting. Whether someone wants coffee, an energy drink, or one of our sodas, we’ve created a menu and experience that truly has something for everyone.”

The franchise model includes:

• Small-format, drive-thru-focused layouts
• A simplified operating model without traditional restaurant kitchen equipment
• Multiple beverage categories, including premium coffee, craft sodas, and plant-based energy drinks
• Operational systems designed for speed and efficiency
