Stella's expands viral red velvet latte to 7 stores

Driving the news: The River Road Stella's dropped the velvety latte just before Valentine's Day, per TikTokers.

• The concoction, created by River Road assistant manager Abryanna Gheen, was quickly embraced by local latte TikTokers, which is apparently a thing.
• It has since garnered over a dozen TikTok posts, including from folks who drove in from out of town to get one.
• Due to demand, Stella's extended its run through the end of February — and made it available at all seven local stores. You can try it for $5.99.

What they're saying: "It's extremely exciting! We think it's delicious, so it's very gratifying to see the response from customers," says Constantine Giavos, creative director for the Giavos family, who owns Stella's.

💬 Karri's thought bubble: I swung by the River Road spot last week and grabbed one. It tasted like sipping on a warm chocolate cake. So perfection.
