Loft18’s expansion strategy is finding a balance between suburban and urban markets, choosing spots easily accessible to a wide range of people. With successful locations already open in Houston and Mandeville, and coming soon venues in cities like Broussard, Lafayette, Baton Rouge, Houma, and Katy, TX, Loft18 is bringing its unique experience to even more diverse settings. This approach ensures accessibility and appeal to a broader customer base. As part of their ambitious growth plan, Loft18 aims to take over Louisiana, leveraging the state’s unique charm and close-knit community spirit that we all know and love.
Following the opening of Broussard, the Lafayette location will enter planning stages with the aim of being located near the Cajundome & Cajun Field, with a projected opening within the next 2-3 years. This future site promises to be even larger and more grand, further establishing Loft18 as an emerging leader in the sports bar industry space.
