BATON ROUGE, La. (AP) — CC's Coffee House says the 25-store chain is expanding.

The company said today it plans to open five new stores this year.

New Orleans CityBusiness reports (http://bit.ly/1X4DkdE ) that they include two in the New Orleans area and one each in Monroe, Youngsville and Houma.

The Monroe location is expected to open first. The New Orleans-area outlet will include one on Canal Street with a drive-thru window, and one in Gretna, on the west bank of Jefferson Parish.

Fourteen of the existing outlets are in Baton Rouge and seven are in the New Orleans area. Two are outside Louisiana: one in Ridgeland, Mississippi, and one is in Tucson, in the University of Arizona's student union.
