New restaurant to open in east Loveland this month

LOVELAND — A new restaurant that describes itself as a “modern neighborhood diner” will open in Loveland in late August.

Lola Diner will locate at 6020 Stallion Drive near Crossroads Boulevard in east Loveland. It is the second location for Lola Diner, the first being in Houston, Texas. The restaurant will serve comfort food for breakfast, lunch or dinner.

Michael Santos, chief operating officer for Rock N Concepts LLC, the parent company, told BizWest that Loveland was selected for its second Lola location because of its growth over a period of years. “We look for emerging markets — cities with a steady growth, with household growth and retail growth,” he said. In Loveland’s case, other communities are growing toward the community, which also made the Stallion Drive location appealing.
