About S&S Promotional Group

Founded in 1979, S&S Promotional Group began with a simple goal: to show that a locally owned business could deliver quality products with fair pricing and exceptional customer service.

What started in a small home office primarily serving the agricultural industry, has grown into a diversified operation. Over time, the company has expanded its offerings to include apparel, screen printing, embroidery, and more, continually evolving to better serve its customers.  

S&S Promotional Group assists businesses and organizations in attaining their branding, marketing, and promotional goals, while managing every stage of the process. From the first step to final delivery, their team is involved throughout to ensure a seamless experience.

Building Community Impact

Having served customers in the Grand Forks region for many years, expanding with a local office was a natural progression for S&S Promotional Group. The city’s strong business environment and shared values made it a great fit for community involvement.

The team has engaged with the Chamber of Commerce and other local organizations, helping them build connections and understand the needs of local businesses. These relationships have been both meaningful and valuable, further reinforcing Grand Forks as a key part of the company’s future growth.

CFI’s Role

The Center for Innovation has played a role in S&S Promotional Group’s growth in Grand Forks, providing office space and resources that have supported the company as it continues to evolve. “The Center provides much more than office space,” said Brad Ness, President of S&S Promotional Group, “it offers a collaborative environment, valuable resources, and a supportive community.”

The space has provided the team with access to the tools and facilities needed to support day-to-day operations, while also offering opportunities to connect with other businesses in the region. As S&S Promotional Group continues to grow, being part of the local business community remains an important part of its ongoing success.

The company also looks forward to helping more businesses strengthen their branding and reach their goals through custom apparel and promotional products, while remaining connected to the Grand Forks community.

They also value the variety the industry brings, from new products and trends to the opportunity to help clients share their stories and build stronger brands. “We want to be known for operating with integrity, treating people well, delivering exceptional service, and supporting local organizations whenever possible,” Ness shared.
