We have also entered a partnership with a premium and highly respected sports licensing distributor to launch NFL, NBA, NHL, MLB and NCAA designs under our Game Shades By Sun-staches line that will be in stores and sporting arenas starting this coming season.

It will carry a lower price point and will be rolling out in retailers in 2016.

Daymond and his teams are always involved. In fact, after coming home from our current work trip, we plan on spending a few days with Daymond and his team in Los Angeles to work on business expansion and really try to better the weakest parts of our business.
Gearing Up for Halloween
We have shipped a lot of merchandise in anticipation for Halloween. Our biggest supporters for this Halloween season will definitely be Spirit Halloween stores and Party City stores. They will be carrying a large line of original and licensed Sun-staches and we are extremely excited to see how much consumers will support us. We genuinely feel that we give the best value to our customers. Our items are amazing for around $10.

We are now getting into the sales cycle for our Marvel designs as well as other licenses and are very excited to see those designs going to retailers to be available on the market as soon as late this year.
