TRWD Begins Financial Review as Next Step in Building Adult Entertainment Conglomerate
NEW YORK, Sept. 10, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Tradewinds Universal, Inc. (OTCID: TRWD) announced today that it has begun the financial review of Peppermint Hippo as part of its expansion strategy into the adult hospitality sector.
This step comes as TRWD continues executing on its agreement with Peppermint Hippo, one of the fastest-growing brands in gentlemen’s entertainment. Together, TRWD and Peppermint Hippo are spearheading the transformation of the fragmented U.S. adult nightlife industry into a multi-brand conglomerate, with a milestone goal of 100+ locations nationwide.
The industry opportunity is significant. Across the United States, about 3,000 independently owned gentlemen’s clubs operate in a fragmented, outdated market. Peppermint Hippo, founded in 2018 and already operating several locations nationwide including its flagship on the Las Vegas Strip, has developed a proven model for acquiring, renovating, and modernizing underperforming venues into upscale “Mini-Vegas” style experiences.
