SRM Entertainment’s Growth Trajectory Continues with New Product Launch and Significant Reorder

Jupiter, FL – December 12, 2024 – SRM Entertainment, Inc. (Nasdaq: SRM) (the “Company,” or “SRM”), a leading provider of licensed merchandise and souvenirs, today announced a significant reorder of its popular Sip With Me cups from a premier marine life theme park in Abu Dhabi and the development of exclusive products for a groundbreaking year-round horror attraction in Las Vegas. These developments underscore SRM’s growth and strategic expansion into new markets and product categories.

The reorder of Sip With Me cups comes less than a year after the grand opening of a marine life theme park and animal researching, rescue & rehabilitation center located on Yas Island in Abu Dhabi, the capital of the United Arab Emirates. This premier theme park, owned and operated by Miral Asset Management under a license from United Parks & Resorts, features eight immersive marine environments, or “realms,” that are home to interactive exhibits, thrilling rides, and diverse dining options. The cups, featuring beloved characters like Shamu the Whale, dolphins, and penguins, will be sold throughout the park’s various realms, offering visitors a unique and memorable souvenir.

“This reorder is a testament to the quality and appeal of our Sip With Me cups,” said Rich Miller, CEO of SRM. “We are thrilled about our continued relationship with this world-class theme park and our contribution to their success.”

In addition to the reorder, SRM is developing a diverse range of exclusive products for a highly anticipated immersive horror experience in Las Vegas. This cutting-edge entertainment venue will offer an exciting variety of unique and horror-centric themed encounters. The attraction will be continuously updated with must-see seasonal events and one-of-a-kind merchandise, ensuring a dynamic and engaging experience for guests.

SRM will be creating a unique line of merchandise for the attraction, including collectibles and souvenirs inspired by iconic horror films. This venture marks a significant step for the Company, expanding its product portfolio and tapping into the growing market for immersive entertainment.

“This is an exciting new chapter for SRM,” said Miller. “We are leveraging our expertise in licensed merchandise to create unique and compelling products for this cutting-edge attraction. This partnership opens up new avenues for growth and diversification, further solidifying our position as a leader in the entertainment merchandise industry.”

These developments follow SRM’s recent success in significantly growing its online sales on Amazon, with sales surging over 400% since September. This demonstrates the Company’s ability to adapt to evolving market dynamics and capitalize on emerging opportunities across various sales channels. By strategically expanding its product offerings, distribution channels, and market reach, SRM is well-positioned for continued growth and success.

Looking ahead, SRM is actively pursuing new partnerships and product lines to further expand its reach and capitalize on emerging opportunities in the entertainment merchandise industry in 2025 to enhance shareholder value.
