About Us

Jeremy has always had the entrepreneurial spirit coming from a family of business owners and having a career helping other business owners at his current full time job at the bank. 

In 2019 he decided to scratch that itch, and built a prototype drop-shipping website selling T-shirts and other men's gear.  Then the pandemic hit, and shipping times went through the roof, and a shift had to be made. 

During an adult's only retreat in Saint Augustine, Jeremy found inspiration in the shopping district. For the first time in his life, he was taking time to focus on grooming. Alexis really liked it when he got a good haircut (shoutout Seth at Paul's Barbershop in Ellenton). Finding good products to use on his newfound handsomeness was important, and he was focused on finding handcrafted, all natural products to use. While walking through the shopping district of the country's oldest city, he realized there was a market for what he was looking for, after visiting two stores within a hundred yards of each other selling exactly what he was after. 

This made him think, "Do we have anything like that in Manatee county?" and the answer was a resounding "NO". 

Then the research started. He found Lox & Company offering a wholesaler package, initially meant for Barbershops. After a great discussion with AJ at Lox; and a sampling of their products, Jeremy knew this was the team he wanted to work with. 

Now that relationship has grown to two exclusive Bennett's Bodega products, and counting. 

We have also found a great handcrafted, all natural soap manufacturer (that used to make the soaps that a certain Sasquatch company re-sold as their own) and a great line of affordable EDC pocket knives. 

We sell these products at vendor/craft shows across Manatee County, finding a real niche in that segment because nobody else catered to Men, until now.
