Quincy, MA, May 28, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Stran & Company, Inc. ("Stran" or the "Company") (NASDAQ: SWAG) (NASDAQ: SWAGW), a leading outsourced marketing solutions provider that leverages its promotional products and loyalty incentive expertise, today announced accelerating momentum within the consumer retail vertical, driven by multiple new contract wins, including a significant multi-year uniform program that enhances revenue visibility and reinforces the Company’s position in large-scale retail.
Stran was recently awarded a three-year uniform contract with a leading U.S. grocery retailer expected to generate six figures in annual revenue. The agreement represents a high-quality, recurring revenue stream and establishes a foundation for potential expansion opportunities, including program extensions, refresh cycles, and incremental branded merchandise initiatives across the customer’s store network.
In parallel, the Company has secured several uniform and promotional product orders from regional grocery operators, contributing meaningful near-term revenue while further validating Stran’s ability to win and scale relationships within the sector. These engagements serve as a strategic entry point for deeper, longer-term collaborations and demonstrate the Company’s growing pipeline of opportunities in the grocery and broader consumer retail market.
“We are seeing strong demand from grocery and consumer retail customers seeking scalable, end-to-end promotional solutions,” said Andy Shape, President and CEO of Stran. “These recent wins are particularly meaningful as they reflect our ability to secure multi-year, programmatic business with large, sophisticated operators while continuing to generate consistent project-based revenue across the sector. The addition of these contracts increases revenue visibility and further solidifies our recurring revenue foundation. Just as importantly, they demonstrate our ability to land and expand—converting initial engagements into long-term collaborations, increasing wallet share, and driving repeat business over time. As we continue to build momentum in this vertical, we believe we are well-positioned to scale these relationships, deepen our presence with both national and regional customers, and translate our growing pipeline into sustained, profitable growth.”
