Location Matters Brings Stella Jean’s and Pop Pie Co. to La Mesa Village
La Mesa, California – January 12, 2026
Location Matters is proud to announce the successful leasing of two adjacent retail spaces at 8243 and 8247 La Mesa Boulevard to Stella Jean’s and Pop Pie Co., two of San Diego’s most exciting and well-loved food concepts. Each tenant will occupy approximately 1,300 square feet, creating a dynamic, side-by-side destination in the heart of La Mesa Village.
This new location will mark Stella Jean’s seventh location in San Diego County. Known for its handcrafted, globally inspired ice cream flavors made with high-quality ingredients, Stella Jean’s has built a loyal following and a reputation for creativity, community, and unforgettable flavor combinations.
Joining Stella Jean’s next door is its sister company, Pop Pie Co., opening its sixth San Diego County location. Pop Pie Co. has become a local favorite for its elevated comfort food, offering savory and sweet pies made from scratch with a modern, chef-driven approach. The brand has garnered widespread acclaim for reimagining a classic dish with bold flavors and thoughtful execution.
Alexis Couch of Location Matters represented both the Landlord and the Tenants in these transactions, bringing two highly attractive concepts together to form a high-energy, buzz-worthy destination that will drive foot traffic and elevate the overall experience in La Mesa Village.
