MOST WATCHED STATION.
THIS IS WCCO 4 NEWS.
A POPULAR PLACE TO EAT ALONG
THE SHORE OF LAKE CALHOUN IS
ABOUT TO UNDERGO A BIG CHAIN.
LAST NIGHT A COMMITTEE FOR
THE MINNEAPOLIS PARK AND
RECREATION BOARD APPROVED A
LEASE FOR A NEW VENDER AFTER
THE PREVIOUS OPERATORS CHOSE
NOT TO RENEW THEIR CONTRACT.
TODAY WCCO'S ANGELA DAVIS
TALKED WITH THE OWNER OF
LOLO'S.
WE CAN REALLY COOK.
EVERYBODY LIKES OUR FOOD.
WE KNOW WHAT WE ARE DOING.
Reporter: IT'S A FOOD VENDOR
FAMILIAR TO PEOPLE WHO STROLLED
THROUGH THE PLAZA OF U.S. BANK
STADIUM ON GAME DAY.
IT'S HERE THAT SMOKED RIBS,
PULLED PORK, CHICKEN, AND
SEAFOOD ARE SERVED UP WITH
FLAVOR AND FLAIR.
LOUIS KING IS BEHIND LOLA'S
CAFE.
WE ARE TRYING TO GROW A
BUSINESS.
THIS IS THE CROWN JEWEL OF
MINNEAPOLIS IF YOU'RE GONNA
PLAY, YOU'VE GOT TO PLAY AT THE
TOP OF THE FOOD CHAIN.
THIS IS IT.
Reporter: HE PLANS TO
RENOVATE THE BUILDING AND
ADDRESS THE LONG LINES.
WE ARE BUILT FOR SPEED.
I SPEND A LOT OF TIME OUT HERE
WATCHING.
WE ARE GOING TO OPEN IT UP.
PUT MORE CASH REGISTERS IN.
Reporter: HE INTENDS TO
INSTALL KIOSKS TO SPEED UP
SERVICE.
ONE WOULD SERVE COLD BEER AND
ICE CREAM.
THE OTHER JUST BEER.
CUSTOMERS WILL FIND OLD
FAVORITES AND PLENTY WILL BE
NEW.
OYSTERS, CRAB CAKES, FISH
TACOS.
Reporter: HE PLANS TO SELL
FOOD AT ADDITIONAL LOCATION
AROUND THE LAKE AND OFFER
RENTALS OF TABLES OR BLANKETS
SO YOU CAN SET UP A PICNIC
ALONG THE WATER.
I THINK THEY'RE GONNA BE
PLEASANTLY SURPRISED.
WE'RE GONNA MAKE FRIENDS HERE.
