San Francisco, CA (January, 2016) — Award winning craft cocktail mixer brand Powell & Mahoney will exhibit at the 2016 Winter Fancy Food Show held in San Francisco, CA on January 17-19 at booth number 1756. Powell & Mahoney will begin the new year with great momentum after closing out a pivotal 2015 which included a growth capital investment from Fenwick Brands, Inc., a strategic partnership with Ignite Sales Management & Consulting, national distribution through leading retailer Target, a successful launch of carbonated cocktail mixers, and multiple industry awards and accolades.

Mark Mahoney, Co-founder of Powell & Mahoney shares, “we closed out 2015 with record sales, our first capital raise with some great people and incredible progress made by the Powell & Mahoney team. Our retailers are excited about the brand due in large part to the quality, repeat sales, higher rings and better profits.”

Powell & Mahoney’s on-and-off-premise growth has accelerated through specialty and natural, liquor, and foodservice distribution. SPINS, a division of Nielsen and the leading provider of retail consumer insights, analytics and consulting for the Natural, Organic and Specialty Products industry, recently named Powell & Mahoney #1 in Natural, #1 in Specialty, and the fastest growing mixer in Grocery. According to SPINS, the mixer category is the #4 category growth leader with Powell & Mahoney Cocktail Mixers leading the way.
