QALO

"QALO is literally a labor of love for us. We founded the business out of a desire to display our devotion to our wives - it doesn’t get more personal than that! Win did a brilliant job tackling our fears about selling and the direction that might take QALO. From Day 1, they valued the work that we had done in building QALO into the brand it was, but also gave us a clear vision of the brand they knew it could be. And true to their word, we’ve continued to grow (even through 2020), creating a clear brand strategy that has allowed us to expand our product offering and reach new customers, while staying true to what makes QALO QALO. That full package of delivering growth quickly and long-term stewardship is what makes Win so special."

"We're proud of what we've accomplished at Love Your Melon in the last nine years, most importantly of the millions of dollars our team has raised to fight against pediatric cancer. Now, as part of Win, we're equipped with the tools we need to grow faster than ever before by accessing new markets, diversifying our product offering, and expanding our retail footprint. We believe we have found the best partner to lead this brand and its mission into the next chapter."
