The agreement will come to an end on or around September 20, 2025.
The company views this as a positive step, allowing it to exit an unprofitable relationship and advance its strategic financial goals.
In conjunction with the termination, the company intends to discontinue operations at its Allentown, Pennsylvania distribution center, consistent with efforts to optimize its distribution network and improve service to local customers and suppliers.

Insights From Analysts:
The U.S. economy and stock market face a &#8220;confluence of challenges&#8221; in the second half of the year, noted Charles Schwab &amp; Co. Inc. in its mid-year outlook.
&#8220;Tariff-induced inflation, fiscal imbalances, and signs of labor market cooling contribute to an environment of heightened uncertainty and instability,&#8221; stated the note.
However, with stocks nearing all-time highs, &#8220;the bar is relatively high for the market in the second half of the year.&#8221;
The note also explained that there were &#8220;possibilities&#8221; for things to right with &#8220;tariff rates edging lower, the labor market stabilizing, and inflation remaining under control,&#8221; however, the firm had &#8220;low conviction&#8221; in understanding and predicting where the day-to-day news flow could head.
&#8220;For now, investor sentiment and positive earnings growth are supports, whereas stretched valuations and growth-negative tariff policy are hindrances,&#8221; it added.
The note also highlighted that &#8220;Investors should continue to embrace diversification across and within asset classes, especially given the dominance (this year) of markets outside the United States.&#8221;
Meanwhile, senior economist Jeremy Siegel said in his WisdomTree note that the investor sentiment was benefiting from signals of &#8220;progress or at least a pause&#8221; in U.S.-China trade tensions.
&#8220;I continue to believe the market can digest tariffs of 10% across the board and 30% for China with limited sector-specific increases like aluminum at 50%,&#8221; he stated.
Siegel added that &#8220;Looking ahead, the S&amp;P 500 all-time highs are likely in the absence of major trade shocks. Risks remain, but the economy continues to show resilience.&#8221;
