That will happen, she says, when CC's grows beyond its current three stores to the "five to six, right off the bat" that she would like to see.

"It's a high focus market for us right now. One, because we love it, two, because we have a presence there right now, a very small presence, yes, but we love the northwest Louisiana area and really want to build it out."

Parker says they are on the hunt for their next franchise partner for Shreveport-Bossier.

CC's is owned by the same family that owns the Louisiana brand Community Coffee, but it is an arm's length arrangement. The two are separate entities and business models. Although Community Coffee blends are served CC's, they are higher end roasts that not available in the Community Coffee roster of grocery store offerings.

Parker said the company's Louisiana roots come through in everything it does.

"We really focus on who we are at the core, and that's serving everyone better than anyone else, with our quality products and our consistency with service to our guests," she said. "So that's really what we focus on, is that neighborhood feel and serving our quality products."

There are currently 40 CCs locations in Louisiana, Mississippi, and Texas.

Other chains, like Scooters, which at 37 is seven years older than CC's, has 850 locations in 30 states. Eight-year-old north Arkansas-based 7 Brew lists more than 400 locations.

Parker said ideas have changed within the CC's organization.

"We went strategically to the franchising path just this year. Actually, at the beginning of 2025 we had been licensing before, but now we're franchising, and it's more so we could find those multi-unit operators that could help us grow throughout the state of Louisiana and to our neighboring states as well," Parker said.

The most popular CC's remain the traditional end cap spaces shopping center places that include a drive through but have indoor seating for coffee, meetings or study, Parker said.

In Shreveport-Bossier, two of the three CC's in Shreveport-Bossier are housed in Brookshire Grocery Stores on Airline Drive and Norris Ferry Road. The third is a standalone at 9488 Ellerbe Road.

Parker calls it the "E-22." The Espresso No. 22 is an iced espresso with cream, sweetened with pure cane sugar.

The proprietary Mochasippi frozen coffee treat, their number one seller, is an espresso drink blended with their Mochasippi Mix and a choice of flavors and whipped cream.

She said something interesting she is seeing is that more and more customers are deciding not to add energy boosts to drinks.

LEWISTON, Idaho – Jackson Syring and Ian Montz hit back-to-back solo home runs in the sixth inning and LSU Shreveport (La.) completed the first undefeated season in collegiate baseball history (59-0), beating Southeastern (Fla.), 13-7, to win the 2025 NAIA Baseball National Championship at the Avista NAIA World Series in Lewiston, Idaho.

It’s the first national championship in any sport for the Pilots, wrapping up the most historic season ever by a college baseball team.

The win was anything but easy, as Southeastern scored two runs in the first and two more in the second, on a double by James Strom and a Charlie Collins triple. Through two innings, Collins was 2-for-2 with two RBIs and a run scored, jumping out to an early 4-0 lead. He finished 2-for-5, and the Fire also had two hits from Alfonso Villalobos and Nick Streuer.

LSUS didn’t wait to cut the Fire lead to a single run, as Jose Sallorin drove in Montz and Syring, and Anthony Swenda came home on a wild pitch. In the next inning, the Pilots tied it and took the lead on bases-loaded walks by Diego Aragon and Ryan Davenport.

Southeastern regained the lead in the fourth with two runs, and in the fifth, Streuer singled to score Hicks, extending the SEU lead to 7-5.

In the bottom of fifth, the Pilots cut the deficit to one, as Aragon led off with a triple to center field. A ground-ball to the right side scored Cooper Huspen, who ran for Aragon, and LSUS was down 7-6.

LSUS took the lead an inning later, and after the homers by Syring and Montz, Davenport and Austin Gomm collected RBIs, stretching the Pilot lead to 10-7.

An insurance run came home for the Pilots in the seventh and they added two in the eighth, as Syring, Sallorin and Gibson finished with two hits each, while Sallorin and Davenport each had three RBIs.

Pitching decisions went to both bullpens, as Kenneth Schlechter picked up the win for LSUS, improving to 4-0, while the Southeastern loss went to Bryce McDonald.

At the conclusion of the game, members of the media and tournament committee named the 2025 Avista NAIA World Series All-Tournament Team.

Already 10 past the four-year record for consecutive wins, the Pilots have now tied the all-time best win total across all divisions of collegiate baseball. In 2009, Howard (Texas), a two-year program, won 57 consecutive until a loss on May 13, 2009, to Temple (Texas).

Up 8-0, the Pilots scored two more in the fifth and the lead swelled to 10. LSUS held Southeastern to one hit until the sixth inning, when the Fire put runners at the corners with two outs, but Rohde was able to stop the threat, drawing a pop fly off the bat of Connor Hicks to end the inning.

Brock Lucas entered to start the eighth, pitching that inning and the ninth to pick up his fourth save of the season.

The loss ended a nine-game winning streak for Hope International at Harris Field, falling to 47-9, getting a 2-for-3 outing from Branden Chun-Ming, as well as two RBIs by Trotter Boston, who put Hope International on the board in the bottom of the second. The ball hopped over the first baseman into right field, scoring Chun-Ming and Matthew Pinal, but LSUS answered immediately, scoring runs on three consecutive doubles by Diego Aragon, Josh Gibson and Vantrel Reed.

Gibson was 2-for-5 with two runs and an RBI.

The next inning, for LSUS, Jose Sallorin laced a one-out double down the line in right and came home a batter later, on Aragon’s second hit. Julian Francois, the Hope International second baseman, got leather on the ball but couldn’t make the catch, and the ball trickled into right field to give the Pilots a 3-2 lead.

Hope International scored again with Boston at the plate, grounding to second, but Chun-Ming advancing caused traffic for the second baseman. The ball got away, scoring Francois.

In the sixth, LSUS took advantage of a leadoff triple by Montz that banged off the wall in right, and Montz went the remaining 90 feet on a sacrifice bunt and RBI by Aragon, returning the lead to the Pilots, 4-3. Aragon had two RBIs in the game, going 2-for-3.

The lead stuck, and LSU Shreveport moved to Wednesday, at 6:30 p.m. PT, meeting the winner between Georgia Gwinnett and Southeastern (Fla.).
