Labor Smart

What Labor Smart does

Labor Smart, Inc. is a U.S.-based public company historically operating as a temporary blue-collar staffing agency, supplying on-demand general laborers to clients in manufacturing, logistics, warehousing, and commercial construction. The company was founded in 2011, is headquartered in Hiram, Georgia, and employs 51-100 people. Its shares trade on the OTC market under ticker LTNC at a market capitalization of approximately $4.27 million as of early 2026, with the stock trading at $0.0002 per share and having declined over 80% on a 12-month basis.

Beginning in mid-2024, the company initiated a strategic pivot away from staffing services toward consumer brand acquisitions in the beverage, snack, and lifestyle categories. This includes a non-binding letter of intent to acquire Illumination Holdings (a beverage and snack incubator with ~$30 million in 2023 revenue, announced July 2024), the completed acquisition of Go Fast Sports and Beverage Company (December 2024), and the completed acquisition of Creager Mercantile Co. (January 2025). No proprietary technology, AI capabilities, or product platform has been disclosed, and the company's primary domain laborsmart.com currently displays a parked GoDaddy landing page, suggesting the legacy staffing website is no longer actively maintained.

The legacy staffing business model was fee-based placement of temporary workers on a project or seasonal basis, with no public pricing and an exclusively U.S. geographic footprint. No institutional investors, parent companies, or major shareholders are disclosed. Going forward, the company's revenue mechanics will depend on the successful integration of acquired CPG brands and the closing of the Illumination transaction, while the underlying staffing operations appear to be in significant contraction.
