In 2015, Lori Rayl set out to establish a small, profitable business for herself.  She settled on an overstock business buying truckloads at a time and moving product through a single retail store. Within a year,  both of her children joined her as partners and established a new entity, Mile High Overstock LLC. 

​

     In 2016, Parker Rayl (son) and Abby Miller (daughter) helped Lori scale her business, especially with online channels such as Ebay.com, & Amazon.com. Soon, online sales became the focus of the business, forcing a 'doing business as' name to arise, "Mile High Online." This dba business allowed us to expand our new-found knowledge of online platforms and began representing other local manufactures and brands on Amazon. 

​

     In 2020, we gained more 'brand clients' and had our first private label brand operational for some time. Lucky for us, our MHO Containers brand only sold empty hand sanitizer bottles. We sold our yearly supply in one month and tried to ride the wave of demand.

​

     In 2021, we purchased an abandoned manufacturing facility. We split the 30,000 sq ft facility roughly in half and operated out of one side of the building. The other side of the building houses long-term tenants. 

​

      In 2022, we acquired another private label brand, 'Slice of the Moon' mica powders. This product is commonly used in resin projects, such as river tables and other craft projects. We also  worked on building a private label candy brand which would focus on repackaging name-brand candies online. We launched 'UpTop Treats', our first "real" brand and based on short-term success, we decided to focus heavily on this project. What started off as repackaged candy evolved into a small manufacturing and co-packing system.

​

     In 2023, we established 'Monument Co-Packing' to serve our growing UpTop Treats brand with the intent of being able to contract package for other businesses as well. We invested in our existing building to create a dedicated food facility. 

​

     In 2024, we scaled our candy operation and also partnered with 'Thrive Freeze Dry', the largest freeze drying company in the Americas. This partnership has allowed us to scale our operation without further investing in more freeze drying equipment and workforce.
