Simple Times Mixers Completes Production Expansion and Grows Distribution with National KeHe Deal

COLUMBUS, Ohio (Oct. 21, 2024) – Simple Times Mixers, the leader in clean-label ultra-premium cocktail mixers, has completed its people-owned manufacturing facilities expansion and signed a national distribution deal with KeHe putting Simple Times Mixers category-defining mixers on shelves across the country.

Over the last year, Simple Times Mixers has been working on expanding its production facilities, growing its 7,500-square-foot facility to 15,000 and adding a new juicer, an expanded kitchen hood, and a bottle filler, plus all of the infrastructure to support this new equipment. The expansion and facilities update was completed to support the increased production demand the brand has experienced in recent years. It will increase Simple Times Mixers’ production capacity by five times. 

Celebrating six straight years of notable sales growth, the brand, which is the only people-owned juice manufacturer of its size, expects to process 10,000 pounds of fruit a week by hand this year to support increased sales from its e-commerce platform, retail distribution, and third-party wholesale partnerships. 

“KeHe distributes to grocery retailers across the US, making national distribution for our Columbus-based brand a reality,” shares Mark Tinus, founder of Simple Times Mixers. “This is an exciting sales opportunity that our team has been working toward for several years, and we are thrilled to know that people across the US can now have access to our clean-label mixers conveniently at their favorite grocery stores.”

Already launched in more than 200 Meijer stores across the grocer’s national footprint, Simple Times Mixers are now available for order fulfillment in seven of KeHe’s regional distribution centers across the country.
