Where We're Headed
These categories aren't part of CSC's current operations — but they represent the natural direction of our growth. As we deepen our retail relationships and expand our supplier network, these are the verticals we're building toward.
Sporting Goods
Active lifestyle brands, outdoor gear, and team sports equipment. As we expand our channel reach, sporting goods is a natural adjacency — one we're actively building relationships in.
Hardware & Home Improvement
Tools, fasteners, and home improvement accessories at national DIY centers. We see significant opportunity here as we broaden our supplier base beyond our core creative categories.
