NEW YORK, Dec. 12, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Tradewinds Universal, Inc. (OTC: TRWD), a fully reporting publicly traded holding company, today highlighted accelerating revenue momentum within the grown-up entertainment sector and detailed how its execution strategy positions the company for long-term growth and consolidation.
Peppermint Hippo and its affiliated brands, including Las Tóxicas, have started multiple transactions expected to close in late 2025 and early 2026. Based on existing operations and a growing acquisition pipeline, these businesses expect revenue to approach or exceed $30 million in 2025, with additional expansion avenues that could position revenue above $40 million in 2026, subject to execution and market conditions.
The grown-up entertainment sector represents one of the largest yet most fragmented hospitality markets in the United States, with more than 3,000 independently owned venues nationwide. Despite its size and consistent cash-flow characteristics, the sector has historically lacked institutional consolidation, creating an opportunity for disciplined operators with scalable platforms.
To capitalize on this opportunity, TRWD has entered into an agreement with Peppermint Hippo designed to support expansion, operational scaling, and long-term consolidation initiatives. This relationship provides access to experienced operators, established concepts, and an active acquisition pipeline, while allowing TRWD to apply its public-company infrastructure and capital markets capabilities.
TRWD’s long-term vision is to assemble a diversified portfolio of grown-up entertainment venues through a combination of revitalizing legacy clubs, modernizing underperforming assets, and rolling up additional properties into a single public holding company. Over time, the company plans to scale toward 100 or more clubs, forming a national platform focused on operational efficiency, brand consistency, and sustainable revenue generation.
This expansion roadmap and consolidation strategy are outlined in a separate overview video detailing TRWD’s plan to grow to more than 100 locations nationwide and build a multi-brand entertainment conglomerate.

Management believes the sector is entering a new phase of growth driven by aging ownership, rising operating complexity, and increasing demand for professionally managed venues. TRWD’s execution plan emphasizes disciplined expansion, centralized operations, and transparent reporting—positioning the company to benefit from ongoing consolidation trends.
