Lil’ Fruity is more than a brand... It’s a personality.

Hi my name is Carlos Colmenares and This brand is a reflection of who I am: a Lil' Fruity, business driven, a little unserious at times, and always down to make people laugh.

I was born in California, my family and I moved to Autlán, Jalisco in 2007, and came back to the U.S. in 2017. Growing up between two cultures shaped how I see the world and how I do business.

I’ve always had that entrepreneurial mindset. At 11, I was going door to door selling mini donuts and keychains. By 13, I was working as a grocery store bagger, and by 17 I had my first “real” job. Connecting with people and creating something of my own has always been in me.

At 12 I came out to my parents, and was lucky to have their support. That freedom to be authentic is a huge part of what Lil’ Fruity stands for.

One thing I love about the community is that we can turn anything into a joke and that energy lives in this brand.

It’s fun, it’s expressive, and it doesn’t take itself too seriously… but the vision behind it is real.
