Chocolate Inn/Lanco (asi/44900)
Having turned the company around from its Lanco-related issues, Stier and Chocolate Inn President David Miller grew the business 10% last year, robustly expanding its product offerings and leaning into its ability to creatively bundle its items to mirror retail trends. With a five-year annual growth rate of 2.8%, Chocolate Inn/Lanco made industry news when it partnered with brand powerhouse M&M/Mars and acquired Shoreline Monogramming Inc. to form Screen Printers Design (SPD) to offer contract decorating for clients.
