Private equity firm in Columbus offered the company a $5 million capital investment with the primary condition that they move operations from Louisville to Columbus, where the investor was based.

Good for him!!! I'm guessing he is about the same age/same class as one of my nieces (NDA). Talented bunch of kids over in Park Hills for sure!

Went to grade school with him. Pretty cool to see he's doing so well.

Congrats to Fro, I had heard he was doing well up in Columbus. As I recall, his sister did very well academically & is a dentist, too.

I have always admired the Frommeyer family's entrepreneurial spirit. They seem to have a flare of counter culture mixed in with their brands. I wish him nothing but the best success!
