Education and events Leverage Curds & Co’s emphasis on in-store cheesemongers, tasting app, classes, and wholesale event opportunities to propose partner education programs, cheese education subscriptions, and co-hosted events with suppliers to drive foot traffic and larger cart sizes.

Wholesale potential Target wholesale collaboration and pop-up opportunities with regional cheese makers and distributors, positioning Curds & Co as an experiential wholesale partner for events, tasting flights, and corporate gifting to expand revenue beyond the single-location model.

Tech-enabled sales Leverage their tech stack (Shopify, Squarespace, a dedicated app, and payments) to propose omnichannel promotions, loyalty programs, and digital gifting to increase repeat purchases and cross-sell with cheese-related accessories and pairings.

Education-led marketing Capitalize on the education angle by offering cheese masterclasses, subscription tasting journeys, and partnerships with Cheese Journeys or similar programs to attract new customers and convert them into loyal enthusiasts with higher lifetime value.

Growth readiness With revenue in the low to mid millions and a lean team, present scalable growth plays such as franchising or franchisor-lite partnerships, limited-time flagship events, and regional expansion to accelerate top-line growth while maintaining a curated brand experience.
