What frozenta does

Frozenta is a wholesale distributor of blended drink mixes, sauces, syrups, smoothies, fruit infusions, and refreshers targeted at independent coffee shops, cafes, restaurants, and bakeries in the United States. Founded in 2011 and headquartered at 700 Alum Creek Drive in Columbus, Ohio, the company sells directly through its own e-commerce storefront (built on Shopify) with no minimum order requirement but full-case-only purchasing. The product catalog is anchored by two core all-in-one powder bases — Polar Powder (the flagship, yielding 135 sixteen-ounce drinks per 24lb case) and Hot Chocolate Freeze (made with gourmet European chocolate, yielding 114 drinks per case) — which are designed to enable unlimited frozen and hot beverage variations from a single SKU. The portfolio is complemented by four signature sauces (Chocolate, Caramel, White Chocolate, Pumpkin), real-fruit smoothie mixes, 30+ flavoring syrups (including sugar-free variants), fruit infusions for iced tea, and a newer refreshers concentrate line.

The business model is straightforward B2B wholesale: products are sold in case quantities at price points ranging from $28 (2lb consumer bags) to $125 (24lb commercial cases), with free FedEx Ground shipping across the continental United States and a 100% satisfaction guarantee. Marketing and customer acquisition rely on a recipe content blog, email promotions, and trade show presence at Coffee Fest events. The company serves hundreds of independent coffee shops across 36 states, with named customers including Scioto Valley Coffee (OH), Hug in a Mug Coffee House (GA), and I Am Java Coffee House (IL). The company is privately held, has no disclosed funding rounds, no parent company, and operates with no publicly disclosed headcount or revenue figures.
