The company may have a funny name, but social commerce children’s apparel retailer Lolly Wolly Doodle is a serious enough business to draw the attention of Revolution Growth, the investment firm founded and led by AOL Founder Steve Case, former AOL President Ted Leonsis, and former Exclusive Resorts CEO Donn Davis.

Lolly Wolly Doodle customizes its product designs based on real-time feedback from its fans on Facebook (nearly 584,000) and other social networks.

The company said it would use the “significant new investment” from Revolution Growth to scale its operations, add more executive talent, beef up its product offering, and more deeply engage its customers, both online and offline, adding that it plans to hire 100 operations and manufacturing staffers in North Carolina, as well as to bolster its technology and marketing teams in New York.
