CLEVELAND — Despite rising costs and inflation at every link of the supply chain, a Cleveland small business specializing in creative, fun and vibrant consumer products is not only surviving a difficult business environment but is thriving, too.
“It’s going to be a very colorful display. You’re going to see it in all the stores for under $5,” Ludwig, the company’s CEO, said. The display will be featured in nearly 2000 Wal-Mart locations across the region. The inflation data, which ran contrary to what many economists and investors had anticipated, triggered a bloody day on Wall Street as stocks suffered their worst day since 2020.
Kijinski said inflation has also been pervasive on the supply side of the business as the process of bringing products to market has become more tenuous.
