2026 Net Sales Expected to Grow Between 5% and 11% CHARLOTTE, N.C., March 31, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- SPAR Group, Inc. (NASDAQ: SGRP) (“SGRP,”, and together with its subsidiaries, “SPAR”, “SPAR Group” or the “Company”), an innovative services company offering comprehensive merchandising, marketing, and distribution solutions to retailers and brands throughout the United States and Canada, today issues fiscal year 2026 financial guidance.

Our newly announced on-demand merchandising partnership with ReposiTrak reflects the kind of high-value, technology-enabled collaboration we are actively pursuing.
