Houston – It’s a true family affair behind the brand “Stay Fresh With Peanut.” The Maes Family started their journey in May 2020 in the beginning of the Pandemic. What started as a way to provide job employment and daily life skills to their son George Maes Jr., turned into a booming business that offers fragrance supplies all over the country.
George Jr., also known as the famous “Peanut” was born premature at 25 weeks old in 2002. He was born hearing impaired and was told he’d have developmental disabilities. At three months old, Trudy Maes and George Sr. Maes received news that Peanut’s health took a turn for the worst and has a chance of survival of just 20%.
Well, they were wrong. To this day, Peanut is a high school graduate and thriving with his business!
In 2021, Trudy and George Sr. decided to leave their full-time to pursue “Stay Fresh With Peanut” after business started to pick up. They now supply their customers with everything they need to create unique vessels for fresh fragrances.
SFWP offers wax, pigments & glow powder, starter kits, clamshells and wooden dough bowls, accessories, diffusers and bases, glitter, and polymer clay shapes.
All these supplies are used to make car air fresheners (freshies), candles, wax melts, and soaps.
The Maes family stopped by Studio B with the not-so camera shy Peanut. Check out their interview with us.
