XO Marshmallow
 |
Confectionery |
XO Marshmallow is a company based on love, growth, and s'mores. We took the concept of marshmallows and turned the confectionery industry on its head with our innovative treats and Marshmallow Café. What started as each of us putting $100 into a bank account has grown into the nation's favorite marshmallow company. With Kat's food service experience and Lindzi's marketing background, we've maintained sustainable growth -- even during a global pandemic. We believe in putting in the hours, in building a brand that people not only love, but trust. We believe in our team, who works just as hard as we do to deliver an amazing product and experience. We believe in putting our customers first, and hope our demonstrated success makes you believe in us too. |
