As the United States prepares to celebrate its 250th anniversary in 2026, America250 is inviting retailers, gift shops, museums, hardware stores, and businesses nationwide to take part in the historic milestone by carrying official America250 merchandise.

The America250 initiative commemorates the Semiquincentennial—the 250th anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence—through programs designed to educate, engage, and unite Americans in a shared national celebration.

The new wholesale program offers qualified retailers access to a curated collection of branded apparel, commemorative products, patriotic accessories, and anniversary-themed merchandise at wholesale pricing. Through the America250 Wholesale Store, businesses and organizations can bring themed products and displays into their stores and communities ahead of July 4, 2026.

The program is open to a wide range of businesses and organizations, including gift shops, museum stores, hardware stores, retailers, promotional product distributors, government offices, tourism destinations, and more. With hundreds of wholesale accounts already approved across more than 25 states, interest in official America250 merchandise continues to grow as July 4, 2026 approaches.

From patriotic apparel and accessories to commemorative keepsakes celebrating the nation’s history, the collection provides businesses with a turnkey way to bring the spirit of the anniversary to customers and communities nationwide.

“America’s 250th anniversary is an opportunity for communities and businesses across the country to take part in a shared national celebration,” said Jen Condon, Executive Vice President at America250. “Our wholesale merchandise program gives retailers and organizations a meaningful way to help Americans commemorate this historic milestone and bring the spirit of the Semiquincentennial into communities nationwide.”
