Portfolio mix—soft pretzels, frozen beverages, churros—covers theater, convenience, and retail channels, cutting seasonality and keeping FY cash flow stable.
Expansion into Frozen Novelties

Bakery lines—Mary Bs cookies and Daddy Rays brownies—add core variety, contributing to a combined 15% of 2024 net sales and higher margins due to branded, frozen-to-bake convenience.
