Broad Street Licensing Group

"I have signed Broad Street Licensing on two occasions - during my tenure at Diageo as well as at Playboy. I have nothing but great things to say about their team. They are extremely knowledgeable about the food & beverage industry, as well as professional, yet aggressive when it comes to going after the opportunities. They always give exemplary service, making me feel like I am their only client although I know that I am not. I highly recommend Broad Street Licensing and would use them again in a heartbeat."

“Broad Street shows exceptional dedication, diligence and knowledge of the food business in helping Gourmet Boutique identify brand acquisition opportunities in the restaurant and food brand arena. They know who to call and how to get the meeting. In one particular case, we asked them about a consumer brand and BSLG was able to secure a high-level meeting with the key decision makers right away.”
