Building the Next Major Publicly Traded Conglomerate of Gentlemen’s Clubs
Started in 2021, Tradewinds Universal is the result of Andrew Read’s journey in launching and leading eco-friendly ventures.
Tradewinds Universal is executing an aggressive acquisition strategy centered on Peppermint Hippo, one of the fastest-growing brands in gentlemen’s entertainment.
By consolidating and modernizing clubs across the country, TRWD is positioning itself as rare publicly traded conglomerate in this space — and the one with the scale and vision to dominate.
Our model isn’t about small, local venues. It’s about rolling up a fragmented industry and transforming it into a nationally recognized platform that Wall Street cannot ignore.
Tradewinds Universal combines leadership experience with a scalable acquisition model designed to reshape gentlemen’s entertainment into a nationally recognized, investable industry.
TRWD is not just acquiring clubs — we are creating a branded entertainment platform with the scale to dominate the market and deliver long-term shareholder value.
Tradewinds Universal is building a portfolio of high-growth brands with national scale potential.
