The 5280 Mermaid began around a kitchen table, not in a boardroom. It began as a family project to overcome the difficulties of childhood cancer, and slowly developed into a business with a mission that transcended the products.

The brand was conceived by Sarah Kleinhans and her children when they were going through a tough time in their lives as they were raising Addison through leukemia treatment. As they journeyed on, they cooked, were rewarded with recipes, and supported other families along the way to give back to a community that had given them so much. This spirit of giving has continued to influence the company today.

Whether it's handcrafted food products, beverage infusion kits, fundraising, or community outreach, each product embodies the family's values of connection, compassion, and quality. The company is firmly based in Colorado and is proud to make its products in a licensed facility and to support its charitable initiatives that benefit families who struggle with medical issues.

The 5280 Mermaid is more than a unique item for retailers, gift shops, specialty food shops, and wholesale partners. It is a story that customers will relate to, which is about resilience, family, and how small acts make an impact. Each purchase is a step towards fulfilling that mission, one customer, one community at a time.
