❄️ It may not be winter yet, but FROZEN drinks have arrived at Buddies & Co! ❄️ Thanks to two of our amazing employees, Laura & Savannah, we have a handful of special drinks in celebration of their performance in Frozen, Jr. this upcoming weekend!

A big shout-out to Ketty Paula and her awesome coaches for supporting us during their ‘26 BASA Soccer Camp! ⚽🥤 (Andrew delivered them a delicious drink to cool them off on their last day of camp!) Each camper received a swag bag, which included a Buddies & Co. coupon. We’ve loved seeing so many campers stop by this week to redeem them!
It was a fun (and hot! ☀️) week, and we’re grateful we could be a small part of such a great event. Thanks for including Buddies & Co! 🥤⚽️🥅

As July winds down, so does the Brandon Chamber of Commerce’s Beverage Battle! ☀️🥤

It’s been so much fun watching everyone try our Buddies’ Fireside Treat—and the reviews have been amazing! If you haven’t stopped in yet, there’s still time to grab one before the competition ends.

Don’t forget to cast your vote while you’re here! Last year, thanks to your incredible support, our Coconut Paradise took home the championship and the traveling trophy. 🏆 We’d love to keep that trophy at Buddies & Co. for another year! (Janelle & Rylee don’t want to give it up! 😉)

Thank you for cheering us on and supporting our mission. Every drink and every vote means so much to us! ❤️
