Mambo Sprouts Weblog

It’s our final week, and we’re closing the last leg of the West Coast tour back in the City of Angels. We LOHAS-ed throughout the city, from Malibu to Hollywood, then continued the week with in-store demos at Ralph’s and Whole Foods. Our target demographic was well reached as we encountered many moms praising the Mambo bags. “I am so excited you’re here! I am always looking for healthy alternatives to give to my children for their school lunches! This is perfect!” We Mambo-ed our way over to Westwood, where we reached out to UCLA college students who were searching for some healthy snacks to feed their hungry bellies and fuel their brains as they prepared for the dreaded “all-nighter.” Then it was back to the luxurious Beverly Hills where consumers were craving those infamous Mambo Sprouts coupon booklets. Needless to say, these health conscious, money-savvy consumers were ecstatic over their Mambo bags.
As we wrap up our final week of the tour at the trendy 3rd Street Whole Foods, we reflect on our Mambo journey throughout California, from San Francisco all the way down to San Diego. We had an incredible time educating consumers and handing out wonderful natural products, which we ourselves have fallen in love with. It’s now time to pass the baton to our Mambo family in the Northwest. Don’t go anywhere, because we’ll have more tour blogs and photos up for you to enjoy this summer! Keep your eyes posted and your bellies ready, because Mambo may be coming to your town soon!

Go Mambo! stops by the Rock n’ Roll Marathon in San Diego!

Go Mambo! at the Rock n’ Roll Marathon

Hello San Francisco! This week we made our way through the ‘City by the Bay.’ We began with LOHAS stops at gyms and other hot spots, then headed up to the North Beach Festival to enjoy some good food and orchestra while Mambo-ing with the locals! After that, it was off to the Fisherman’s Wharf where we spread some Mambo love to San Franciscans and tourists from all over the world.  We traveled across the Golden Gate and Bay Bridges for Whole Foods demos in San Rafael, Berkeley and Oakland, and then ended our week with Whole Foods demos back in the city.
We’ve had an amazing adventure up here in Northern California and have met so many wonderful people, but now it’s time to head back down South and gear up for our final week in LA!  Keep an eye out for the van, and don’t forget to stop by and see us!

It’s week four, and Northern California here we are!  We kicked off our week at the Harmony Music Festival in Santa Rosa, Ca.  While Damian Marley rocked the crowd with Exodus and George Clinton got funky, Go Mambo was one nation under the groove!  As the temperatures soared, the festival goers gave us peace and love while we gave them healthy products and snacks to feed their spiritual bellies. After Harmony, we made our way through wine country to give the Whole Foods-shopping wine makers a tasting…Go Mambo style!  Now we’re headed across the Golden Gate bridge to give the locals some Mambo treats. See you in Frisco!

This week we started off in LA with demos in Redondo Beach and Torrance as we made our way down to sunny San Diego! Our first LOHAS stop was at the Alternative Happy Hour where we received complimentary massages and acupuncture while listening to African drum beats. When we arrived in the Hillcrest area, we saw many runners, friends and families preparing for the Rock n Roll Marathon on Sunday morning. You could feel the excitement in the air! At the crack of dawn the Go Mambo crew was out on the course cheering on the runners and handing out Go Mambo bags for all the spectators! It was truly an inspirational event, and we were honored to be a part of it. We finished off our week at local Whole Foods in the San Diego area as we prepared to head back up North.

Look out for us at the Harmony Music Festival in Santa Rosa this weekend! We’ll also be doing demos at all the Whole Foods in the Sonoma wine country. Hope to see you in Northern California!

We kicked off Week 2 in the heart of Hollywood with demos at Whole Foods and Ralphs and we had numerous celebrity sightings as we drew in a crowd who all wanted their Mambo bags! As we headed west making stops at yoga studios and gyms we were so excited to have a day at the beach in Santa Monica! However, we were caught off guard by afternoon showers!

We spent a beautiful day in Santa Barbara where we hit the farmers market, art fair, and the I Madonari festival at the Mission. While in Santa Barbara we ran into a gentleman named Pete who was on his way to the Lightning in a Bottle music festival-he ran us down and said “I saw the Mambo van last year at Higher Ground in Burlington, Vermont-you guys are doing an awesome thing!” We were so excited to find out that Go Mambo! is connecting the dots across the country! We made sure to give him some Mambo bags to share at the festival and sent him on his way.

We wrapped up our week with a Memorial Day BBQ at the Whole Foods in Thousand Oaks. Although the weather cooled off this week, we’re just getting warmed up! Next week we’ll be in San Diego so keep your eyes peeled for the Mambo van making its way into your neighborhood!

Mambo mania has kicked off here in California!

As the weather reached record breaking temps in Southern California this week, Go Mambo was just getting warmed up in the valley with our first demo at Whole Foods in Northridge. We made our media rounds on Friday stopping by CBS studios, KTLA, and other Hollywood hot spots.

Over the weekend we headed back to the valley for the Whole Children Whole Planet event where the temperature reached the triple digits and our Go Mambo crew did their best to stay cool with organic air conditioning (aka ice water in spray bottles)!

We talked to many young parents about the wonderful kid friendly choices we have to offer in our Mambo bags but also let them know there are many treats for mom and dad too! While the heat wilted the fresh flowers on our table we kept our spirits and energy up by staying hydrated and looking forward to heading closer to the beach next week. We hope the ocean breeze will cool us off as we hit Santa Monica, Sherman Oaks, and Hollywood. Look out for the Mambo van making its way across LA!

We hope to catch you next week-please stop by one of demos for your very own Mambo bag!
