Simple Modern Reports Double-Digit Year-Over-Year Growth in Licensed Sales Following 2026 Licensing Expo

Simple Modern reported significant growth in its licensed business after meetings with major entertainment partners at the 2026 Licensing Expo in Las Vegas. 

Simple Modern reported double-digit growth in licensed sales following the 2026 Licensing Expo in Las Vegas, where the company's licensing team held nearly two dozen meetings with existing and prospective partners and attended 10 partner showcases covering entertainment and streaming content through 2028.

The Oklahoma-based company has attended the annual expo since 2019. This year's meetings included conversations with potential new partners, as well as discussions with current partners around expanded distribution and upcoming product launches.

“This year’s Licensing Expo reinforced the strength of the relationships we’ve built across the industry,” said Garrett Mueller, Simple Modern’s Licensing Manager. “Hearing that retailers are directly advocating for additional Simple Modern products speaks to the momentum our team and partners are building together.” 

With back-to-school season approaching and a strong licensed product lineup taking shape for the summer, Simple Modern is well positioned to further strengthen its retail relationships and licensing partnerships heading into 2027 and beyond.

“Our categories remain highly competitive, but we continue to see strong growth because of the consistency of our products, partnerships and retail execution,” Mueller said. “This week gave us even more confidence about the opportunities ahead.”
