Bluestone Lane ramping up expansion

Bluestone Lane is growing its U.S. footprint. 

The Australian-inspired specialty coffee retailer plans to open up to 15 locations this year. The planned openings will expand Bluestone Lane's footprint in New York City; Southern California, including Los Angeles, Orange County, and San Diego; and the suburbs of New York and New Jersey and the greater DC area. The retailer will also open a site in San Francisco.

In addition, Bluestone Lane plans to open its first-ever cafés throughout Texas by the end of the year. Also, with the success of a test pilot at Bluestone Lane's Los Altos café, the brand also plans to expand a mobile-enabled drive-thru experience to additional suburban locations.

Bluestone Lane currently operates 52 coffee shops and cafes across the U.S. and Canada.

"Bluestone Lane built a loyal following in bustling cities, where our locals could enjoy their daily escape with premium coffee and a healthy meal," said Nicholas Stone, founder and CEO, Bluestone Lane. "Many locals have moved to the suburbs, but we also know that major cities like New York aren't going away. So our expansion plan includes both.
