Brixco, Inc.
Brixco, Inc. is the parent company of two dynamic and innovative brands in the on-premise and off-premise segments of the wine and spirits industry Grane and Brix, both already tested, established, and refined in Brixcos home base of Omaha, NE.
Grane is Brixcos expansion vehicle, a small footprint, high margin/low labor scalable model with targeted growth into the airport channel, densely populated urban areas, and casinos.
Brixco, Inc. is offering Convertible Preferred Shares to expand Grane, its first-to-market Whiskey Dispensary and Craft Cocktail concept, to airports, densely populated urban areas, and casinos throughout the US. Brixco will also be opportunistic in expanding its other first-to-market brand, Brix, to key geographies including high traffic urban areas and suburban lifestyle centers.
Grane: Grane combines the growing affinity for whiskeys and craft cocktails with the modern, small-portion whiskey dispensing/sampling technology. A whiskey and craft cocktail concept that features technology allowing the customer to sample whiskey in .5oz, 1.0oz and 1.5oz portion sizes with a single venue located at Mutual of Omaha’s Midtown Crossing in Omaha.
Brix: Brix combines three complementary businesses under one roof a wine, beer, and spirits retail store with a bistro and event center. Brixco currently operates two Brix locations in Omaha – at Village Pointe Shopping Center in the western suburbs and an urban location at Midtown Crossing
Headquartered in Omaha, NE and founded in May of 2009 by long-time wine and spirits industry executive Dan Matuszek, the goal of Brixco, Inc. is to develop both Grane and Brix into national-international brands using the experience of its initial test stores in Omaha. In addition, Brixco will continue to be opportunistic within the luxury segment of the alcoholic beverage category by following industry trends and seizing opportunities to create first-to-market concepts that have the ability to grow shareholder value.

Products / Services
Grane Business Unit
The Grane brand is a first-to-market concept, one that combines the growing affinity for whiskeys and craft cocktails with the modern, small portion whiskey dispensing/sampling technology developed by WineEmotion – all packaged in the feel and decor of pre- and post-prohibition 1920’s and 30’s.
The Grane brand/concept is the first establishment in the world to dispense premium whiskeys through the WineEmotion dispensing system, offering small-portion samplings of brands in the exploding super premium ($30.00+ per bottle retail price) segment of the whiskey category. Grane also includes an extensive craft cocktail menu with more than 450 premium whiskeys available behind the bar, plus retail package sale of premium whiskeys.
With a brand positioning of “Prohibition meets Today”, Grane has an interior that reflects the 1920’s and 30’s era with technology that addresses the wants of today’s super premium spirits consumer.
Brix Business Unit
Marketed as “A Wine and Spirits Experience”, the Brix brand is synonymous with smart card-activated wine dispensing, allowing the consumer to purchase wine in 1 oz, 2.5 ox, or 5 oz portion sizes. With 64 wines by the ounce or glass at two locations. Brix is a destination for wine lovers- both novices looking to learn and more educated consumers looking to sample before purchasing. The WineEmotion wine dispensing machines are a critical component of what sets Brix apart from most restaurants and retail wine shops, though focus on the exploding craft beer segment, additional focus on the expanded bistro menu, and promotion of our vast selections of premium spirits brands also helps define the Brix brand now in its sixth year of operation.
