BIRMINGHAM, AL – July 19, 2022, Hibbett, Inc., an athletic-inspired fashion retailer with more than 1,100 Hibbett and City Gear specialty stores nationwide, today announced the launch of the latest Small-Town Sneakerhead (STSH) episode. Single mother, small business owner and sneaker enthusiast, Rochelle Sullivan, takes viewers in and around her hometown of Lyman, a small mill town outside of Greenville, South Carolina and reveals her favorite spots and impressive sneaker collection. “Sneakerheads can’t be categorized as one type of person, they are unique and inspiring individuals connected by their affinity for sneaker culture,” said Sarah Sharp-Wangaard, VP Marketing, Hibbett. "With every episode this project adds new twists to the world of collecting, varied demographics, geography and multi-generational stories, sure to inspire like-minded people who are passionate about sneakers. We are grateful to the characters who are willing to talk to us and share their personal journey.” “I started collecting when I was about 12 because my brother was a high school athlete and I was drawn to all the cool sneakers the players wore at his games,” said Rochelle Sullivan. “I was then determined to save my allowance to purchase cool sneakers. I have passed the passion along to my 10-year-old son, Weston, who has been wearing all types of sneakers since day one. I love to include him in my hunt for new releases, take him back-to-school sneaker shopping locally and to sneaker conventions.” In the new episode of Small-Town Sneakerhead, Sullivan and her son lead cameras around to visit some of her favorite eateries and spots in and around Lyman. The crew stops by Red Hill Hot Dogs, Tyger River Ballpark, Greenville Falls Park and Hibbett Greenville. Sullivan says growing up in a small town like Lyman was great but its quickly growing and as it is becoming more diverse, she is looking forward to new types of experiences. Some of Sullivan’s favorite pairs in her collection include; Kobe 6 “Grinch,” Kobe 6 “Mambacita,” Sean Wotherspoon 1/97 Air Max and the Concepts, Patta and Atmos Air Max packs. “You don’t have to have a lot of pairs to be a Sneakerhead, you just have to love sneakers,” said Rochelle Sullivan. “I style my looks with sneakers first and then the outfit – if the sneakers are the statement piece then I keep the outfit neutral and vice versa.” “As Nike celebrates 50 years of excellence, it is great seeing stories of the love of sneakers being handed down from generation to generation,” said Matt Halfhill, Founder and CEO, Nice Kicks. “Whether it be in big cities or in small towns, Nike is part of many people's journeys as sneakerheads.” The new STSH episode featuring Rochelle Sullivan launches today across digital channels and social platforms including; Hibbett.com, NiceKicks.com, Instagram, YouTube, Facebook and Twitter.

This Company Says It Has Set Its Sights High To Make A Continued Splash In The Specialty Beverage Market

Splash Beverage Group

Demand for convenience food and beverages and increasing concerns from consumers about what they’re ingesting are reportedly driving growth in the specialty food and beverage market. Data Bridge Market Research shows the specialty food and beverage segment is expected to grow 11.5% from 2020 to 2027. According to Mintel Analysts, outpacing conventional grocery sales, specialty food and beverages grew 10% between 2016 and 2018 to $148.7 billion in sales. Even hotter is specialty beverage, outpacing the growth of specialty food sales. “There’s a lot of excitement and surprise in the specialty beverage market. It’s a good place to be right now,” Mintel Senior Analyst David Browne said. “We’re fast approaching the point where specialty is 20% of all food and beverage sales. That’s a major milestone.” Mintel’s research showed that beverage sales are growing faster than food sales, up 13% and 10%, respectively, over the two years. The reason, according to Browne, is that consumers are looking for functional beverages promoting energy, mental focus, relaxation and digestive health. Top players in the specialty food and beverage market include Archer-Daniels-Midland Co. (NYSE: ADM), DuPont de Nemours Inc. (NYSE: DD), Chr Hansen Holding A/S (CPH: CHR), Advanced Food Systems, AmTech Systems Inc. (NASDAQ: ASYS), Hansen Holding and Tate & Lyle PLC (LON: TATE). But smaller companies seem to also be taking a growing piece of the pie. Fort Lauderdale-based Splash Beverage Group Inc. (NYSE: SBEV), which owns and markets a growing portfolio of alcoholic and nonalcoholic beverages through organic development, offers four beverage brands. Those brands are TapouT Performance, SALT Naturally Flavored Tequila, Copa di Vino single-serve wines and Pulpoloco Spanish sangria. Splash reports that it plans to continue expanding its portfolio, primarily through acquisitions and joint ventures. The company wants to work with brands that already have preexisting awareness where Splash can leverage its marketing and distribution expertise to expand the product’s regional presence. According to Allied Market Research, the global alcoholic beverage market was valued at $1.4 billion in 2017 and is expected to grow to almost $1.7 billion by 2025 with a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 2% from 2018 to 2025. Allied believes the growth of the global alcoholic beverages market is driven by an increase in the global young–adult demographic, surge in disposable income and a rise in consumer demand for premium/super-premium products. The timing of Splash’s launch of its TapouT Performance drink may coincide with the global demand for sports drinks. The category now has a market size of $26 billion, representing a growth of nearly 8% in 2020. Allied research projects the market will grow to more than $36 billion by 2028 with a CAGR of 4.2% in the 2021-2028 period. For more information on Splash Beverage, visit www.splashbeveragegroup.com. Splash Beverage Group, an innovator in the beverage industry, owns a growing portfolio of alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverage brands including Copa di Vino wine by the glass, SALT flavored tequilas, Pulpoloco sangria, and TapouT performance hydration and recovery drink. Splash’s strategy is to rapidly develop early-stage brands already in its portfolio as well as acquire and then accelerate brands that have high visibility or are innovators in their categories. Led by a management team that has built and managed some of the top brands in the beverage industry and led sales from product launch into the billions, Splash is rapidly expanding its brand portfolio and global distribution.
