Peppermint Hippo

The nightlife brand that turned one Toledo club into a national platform.

Peppermint Hippo was founded in 2018 by industry veteran Alan Chang. It began with a single club in Toledo, Ohio, and grew into one of the fastest-rising brands in adult nightlife. The 27,000 square foot Las Vegas flagship, the only gentleman's club of its kind directly on Las Vegas Boulevard, cemented the brand's reputation through a $4.5 million top-to-bottom remodel featuring state-of-the-art sound and lighting, craft cocktail programs, and 24-hour programming. Today the brand and its affiliated entities operate over 12 clubs nationwide, delivering what they call the "Mini-Vegas" model to cities outside Las Vegas.

Peppermint Hippo is one of five verticals across the Greywater Capital portfolio. Our work on it came through that relationship. Through a strategic arrangement with Tradewinds Universal (OTCID: TRWD), Peppermint Hippo is leading an initiative to consolidate adult entertainment clubs across the United States into a modern, multi-brand conglomerate targeting 100+ locations nationwide. An institutional rollup of a category that has historically been operator-led, mom-and-pop, and not built for scale.

We produced the expansion toolkit for the multi-market capital raise. Capital decks positioned for public-company investors. Data-room and diligence materials. Market-story collateral that translated an adult-entertainment rollup into a credible growth narrative for OTC investors. Further details are under NDA. What Peppermint Hippo proves about our studio is that we can work in categories other studios will not. Nightlife, entertainment, and adult hospitality all require materials that take the category seriously without either sanitizing it or performing it. That is a specific skill.
