Siblings and Founders: Matthew and Suzanna Grobman
While on her first vacation with her then boyfriend (now husband), POTTYMINTS founder, Suzanna Grobman, began to notice that her newfound roommate was frequently disappearing and re-emerging with treats for her from the hotel’s lobby gift shop. As the candies piled up, she started to question if he had an ulterior motive.
After 5 days, he finally came clean…
Rather than making her bear the repercussions of sharing one bathroom, he was using the bathroom in the hotel lobby…
Inspired by the universal challenges of sharing a bathroom, and underwhelmed by the crude-humored and mass market solutions available, Suzanna (our founder) was determined to find a better option by creating POTTYMINTS: a sophisticated, elegant and discreet solution for dealing with bathroom freshness.
Suzanna Grobman
Creator of POTTYMINTS
As the oldest of three, and a born & bred Manhattanite, Suzanna didn’t necessarily predict an adulthood that would include learning the ins and outs of toilets or hitting the tradeshow circuit while sharing cramped hotel rooms with her family. But it was Suzanna’s quest to solve a ripe problem that inspired her to create POTTYMINTS the second she finished at Boston University. With product finally in hand, she was able to recruit the support of her family to help her hit the ground running. Embracing her former experience as a costume designer, Suzanna incorporated her passion for design in ultimately shaping POTTYMINTS’ identity--the most portable bathroom fragrance on the market with a focus on luxury scents and aesthetic to go in any beautiful bathroom or bag..with the name being the most potty thing about it. Suzanna now proudly lives in Montclair New Jersey with her husband (and POTTYMINTS inspo 😁) and their two kids Rafaela “Rafa” and Mack.
Matthew Grobman
CEO of POTTYMINTS
Matthew’s journey to POTTYMINTS included a brief stint in the music industry, and a real estate analyst, by way of NYU’s Gallatin School of Individualized Studies. After working some trade shows with his sister, he realized he wanted in on the toilet business! Matthew writes our weekly blog Potty Time with POTTYMINTS, and has recently stepped into the role of CEO of POTTYMINTS (with his loving sister's permission… of course!)
