Carbliss broke ground on a 45,000-square-foot headquarters campus at a former Kmart site in Plymouth, drawing more than 1,000 attendees. The company, which makes handcrafted premium ready-to-drink cocktails, will house 85 employees in the new complex.
Why it matters
The project addresses a space crunch created by the company's growth since its 2018 founding by Adam and Amanda Kroener. Carbliss also ranked first among the top Midwest private companies on the 2025 Inc. 5000 Regionals list.
The new campus is roughly 12.9 times the size of the 3,500-square-foot office complex Carbliss previously occupied. The company distributes its product in 25 states and reached $55 million in sales before leaving the founder's house, with the source not specifying the project cost.

Season Trajectory
Carbliss's first-place ranking among 139 Midwest companies on the 2025 Inc. 5000 Regionals list signals that its growth has outpaced regional peers. The Plymouth headquarters project extends that trajectory by moving the company from a founder's house to a 45,000-square-foot campus.
The headquarters will add a tasting center, wellness center, bowling alley, and racing simulator for employees and visitors. Plymouth residents should expect the Kmart site to be transformed into a permanent office and recreation campus.
The takeaway
Carbliss's growth from a founder's house to a 45,000-square-foot campus shows how a fast-scaling company can outgrow its workspace quickly. Businesses planning expansion can treat office space as a growth constraint to address early.
