The group also owns regional media assets (CLTV36 television, RW95.1 radio, Sunstar Pampanga newspaper) used as owned marketing channels, hospitality (Microtel by Wyndham Pampanga, 80 rooms; LausGroup Event Centre), franchised restaurants (The Coffee Bean and Tea Leaf, Max's Restaurant, Pancake House, Yellow Cab), and a real estate line under Family Ville.
