What we do

The work, specifically.

Expansion is where many emerging brands overextend: too many markets, too little support in each. CAYD CAP develops strategies for entering new geographic markets and scaling the distribution you already have.

Our portfolio spans 24 states. Joey Pedone’s own background includes launching TOSCHI Cordials in the U.S. and expanding the line into Canada, Puerto Rico, the U.S. Virgin Islands and cruise lines.
