Vancouver, British Columbia–(Newsfile Corp. – February 8, 2023) – EGF Theramed Health Corp. (CSE: TMED) (OTC Pink: EVAHF) (FSE: AUH) (the “Company” of “EGF“) is pleased to announce it has progressed forward and is now very close to acquiring various dispensary targets in British Columbia. Having looked at targets throughout Canada for the last few months, the market has become increasingly favorable to acquire assets from distressed single store operators favoring scaled centralized operations. Many single store operators that gained an early mover advantage have felt the effects COVID to their bottom line giving EGF an advantage in its acquisitions.

“Since joining Theramed it has been my goal to hand pick the highest quality assets with optimal value. Our company has the ability to raise capital quickly and therefore make significant acquisitions that will lead to instant significant revenue. Our first targeted acquisition is on Vancouver Island, which is famous for its cannabis production and we feel is significantly undervalued. In the coming period, we will look to take this company into generating multimillion revenue; pending we are able to find high value acquisition targets,” states Connor Yuen, CEO.

EGF Theramed has been looking for specific dispensaries that are specially designed to convert and attract customers into the local legal cannabis market. Through the acquisition of established retail outlets, the Company will develop a retail experience that fosters a community and builds a network of customers. The Company expects to offer a large selection of cannabis products and to offer educational materials and resources to customers. The company is targeting prime real estate in high foot traffic areas to maximize consumer accessibility. “We see a huge advantage to expanding our business operations into the retail space. Creating a direct line of communication with the end consumer and obtaining further insight into consumer habits directly aligns with our goals in addition to elevating our revenues. This will be the first step of many in incorporating technology and innovation with the Company’s long-term vision,” states Connor Yuen, Chief Executive Officer, EGF Theramed Health.

With the increase in cannabis consumption, EGF aims to capitalize on the retail market opportunity, creating another favourable section of the business. Around 50% of cannabis users reported increased consumption since the start of the pandemic. Generation Z’s market share has doubled over the course of the last two years (from 8.3% in the first quarter of 2020 to 15% in the last quarter of 2021), making them the demographic with the highest rise.1 The size of the legal adult-use cannabis market in Canada stands at $5.43 billion Canadian Dollars in 2022. By 2026, this market is forecast to reach $10.44 billion Canadian Dollars.2 The market data shows the growth trajectories increasing at an accelerated pace, giving EGF substantial room for growth with its potential retail assets.

The Company continues to seek potential partnerships and acquisitions in addition to the current opportunity under review. Further, the Company expects to engage online marketing for a sum of $250,000 USD to broaden the Company’s reach within the investment community, increasing investor awareness of the Company, and attracting potential new investors through various on-line platforms and methods of engagement. The marketing services include project management and consulting for an on-line marketing campaign, coordinating marketing actions, maintaining and optimizing AdWords campaigns, adapting AdWords bidding strategies, optimizing AdWords ads, and creating and optimizing landing pages. The promotional activity will occur by e-mail, Facebook and Google.

DENVER , March 4, 2022 /PRNewswire/ — Item 9 Labs Corp. (OTCQX: INLB) (the “Company”) — a vertically integrated cannabis dispensary franchisor and operator that produces premium, award-winning products — announced today that it has closed its acquisition of an existing dispensary license and storefront in Adams County, Colorado.

Located at 6101 N. Washington St. in Denver, this will be the first corporate-owned shop under the Unity Rd. brand. The Company expects the shop to be operational in the first half of 2022.

Acquisition Marks First in Company’s National Growth Accelerator

This acquisition is part of an overarching strategy to accelerate national development by creating turnkey investment opportunities for Unity Rd. franchise partners. Item 9 Labs Corp. plans to aggressively expand its dispensary franchise by acquiring and converting cannabis retail stores, training the local team and selling the business to new and existing franchise partners.

“Entrepreneurs are flocking to cannabis, eager to grab a piece of the $25 billion a year market, but soon find that opening a cannabis business is most often a lengthy, complex process,” said Item 9 Labs Corp.’s Chief Executive Officer, Andrew Bowden. “This development strategy offers one of the most turn-key entrances into cannabis. With our team handling the acquisition, conversion and training internally, we expect our national Unity Rd. footprint to expand much more quickly.”

As part of these development efforts, the Company is seeking acquisitions of cannabis dispensaries in Denver, front range and compelling mountain towns throughout Colorado, and key markets in Arizona, Michiganand Oklahoma.

“Unity Rd. is the growth vehicle that will bring our award-winning, premium Item 9 Labsproducts to new states,” added the Company’s Chief Strategy Officer, Jeffrey Rassas. “We are also seeking opportunities to acquire, develop or partner with cultivation and production facilities in markets where we have two to three Unity Rd. shops to ease new market product entry and focus our operations.”

Bringing Item 9 Labs products to markets where Unity Rd. shops are located gives franchise partners front-of-the-line access to a reliable, award-winning product supply chain. The cannabis retail shop also benefits from the national product consistency that consumers have come to expect from franchise brands.

Oklahoma City Dispensary Becomes a Unity Rd. Local Alliance Partner https://mjshareholders.com/oklahoma-city-dispensary-becomes-a-unity-rd-local-alliance-partner/ Thu, 27 Jan 2022 18:45:34 +0000 https://www.cannabisfn.com/?p=2936773

National Cannabis Dispensary Franchise Progresses Midwest Growth; Local Alliance Program Aims to Keep Dispensary Ownership Local by Providing Existing Owners the Backing of a National Franchise System

OKLAHOMA CITYJan. 27, 2022 /PRNewswire/ — Unity Rd., the cannabis dispensary franchise from Item 9 Labs Corp. (OTCQX: INLB), announced today it has signed its first partner through its Local Alliance Program with an Oklahoma City dispensary, Ringside Medical. The shop is located at 14201 N. May Ave. #205 and will be rebranded to Unity Rd.

Unity Rd. is bridging the two previously disconnected worlds of cannabis and franchising, as the first to bring the cannabis dispensary franchise model to the U.S. Built up from a collective 200 years in the legal cannabis industry and franchising, the company helps eager operators enter the complex industry with ease. The marijuana franchise pioneer offers its partners the knowledge, resources, and ongoing support needed to compliantly and successfully operate a dispensary. (PRNewsfoto/Unity Rd.)

Unity Rd. launched the Local Alliance Program in 2021 to support local dispensary ownership. Through the program, existing cannabis dispensary owners and license holders can partner with Unity Rd. to gain direct access to the buying power, resources and supportive network normally reserved for multi-unit operators. Partners through this program retain 100% ownership of their dispensary license and business and benefit from the tools, expertise and ongoing support necessary to compliantly and successfully operate a dispensary.

“The U.S. cannabis landscape is comprised of small, independent entrepreneurs and giant, multi-state operators,” said Unity Rd.’s Chief Franchise Officer Mike Weinberger. “With the added layer of complexities that cannabis brings by being federally illegal and so highly regulated, it is challenging for independents to compete with conglomerates that have teams of industry experts who are dedicated to compliance, accounting, marketing, etc. and know how to navigate the intricacies of cannabis.”

Weinberger continued, “The franchise model gives prospective and existing dispensary owners a fighting chance by empowering them with the knowledge, relationships and ongoing support they need to be compliant and focused on growing their business, rather than stuck in day-to-day management.”

“Having the supportive network of a franchise will be a tremendous weight off us and our team,” said Ringside Medical Co-Owner Robin O’Grady. “Cannabis is complicated. You need to constantly be on your toes and able to pivot at a moment’s notice. By joining Unity Rd., we’re expanding our team with experts who have operated cannabis businesses in multiple states and gaining several other benefits that will positively impact our future growth.”

The Local Alliance shop is primed for growth as Oklahoma’s medical cannabis market has surpassed $1.5 billion in revenue since legal sales began in 2018. The state has one of the largest medicinal programs in the U.S. with about 10% of the population, nearly four million residents, having obtained a medical card. Further, Oklahoma activists have already filed two ballot measures this year to legalize adult-use cannabis and overhaul the state’s medical cannabis system.

“We’re hopeful this Local Alliance shop will be the first of many Unity Rd. shops across Oklahoma,” said the marijuana franchise’s Vice President of Franchise Development Justin Livingston. “We’re confident that our team can help owners increase their dispensary’s value within their local communities.”

In addition to Oklahoma, the cannabis franchise is actively seeking partnerships with existing dispensary owners across the United States who would benefit from the systems, processes and ongoing support the franchise offers. Unity Rd. also partners with industry newcomers and currently has multiple agreements signed with nearly 20 entrepreneurial groups who are in various stages of development nationwide. The franchise offers one of the safest routes for cannabis entrepreneurs looking to stake their claim in the fast-growing, complex industry. Backed by time-tested Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) and an accomplished team boasting more than 200 years of combined experience in cannabis and franchising, franchise partners are guided through every operational function of the business – whether it be assisting with cash flow, product selection or changing regulations.

  • Restructured delivery business with expected revenue increase over the next 12 months of $1MM, by extending delivery hours, expanding the fleet and reach of the business to meet existing demand.
  • Established foundation for consolidation by creating an operations manual by which acquired dispensaries will operate – similar to a franchise model.
  • Strategically remerchandised for greater influence over consumer buying decisions giving priority to higher margin and proprietary products and facilitating expansion of basket size. Every $1 increase in average basket size adds $300,000 in additional annual revenue.
  • Using marketing analytics to target consumers with more effective messages and promotional programs of particular interest to them.

These operational improvements come as GABY places a strong emphasis on company culture and community impact, proving that these operational improvements can be executed while simultaneously making Mankind a more employee and community focused institution.

“Cannabis is an industry unlike any other – few other industries touch on medicinal, recreational, cultural, and social verticals simultaneously,” said Margot Micallef, Founder, and CEO of GABY Inc. “Success in cannabis hinges on understanding the uniqueness of the dispensary ecosystem, and how to best balance operational efficiency with cultural, employee, and consumer needs. I’m pleased to say, GABY is doing that.”

The cultural and community based initiatives executed at Mankind include:

  • Empowering employees as owners by offering Restricted Stock Units in all employee compensation packages enabling all full-time employees of the Company to become owners.
  • The launching of Mankind’s “Plant. People. Planet.” initiative, which inspires mutual action between employees and customers through fundraising and community involvement efforts. Current charity partners include The Last Prisoner Project, Cannabis for Conservation, and The Brahman Project.
  • The launching of Mankind’s “Tree Planting Initiative” – which plants a tree together with the Eden Project, for every purchase made at Mankind.
  • The development of internal education and idea sharing initiatives, bringing executives, managers, and entry level staff together to ensure channels for communication exist at all levels.

SAN DIEGO, CA / ACCESSWIRE / July 27, 2021 / GABY Inc. (“GABY” or the “Company“) (CSE:GABY)(OTCQB:GABLF), a California consolidator of cannabis dispensaries and the parent company of San Diego’s Mankind Dispensary (“Mankind“), is pleased to announce the addition of Marshall Minor as Chief Financial Officer (CFO) of GABY.

Mr. Minor brings an extensive resume to GABY’s executive team. Most recently, Marshall was CFO of Shryne Group – a multi-state operator in the cannabis industry with operations in California, Michigan, Washington and Nevada, with a combined 10 operating dispensaries and revenues in excess of $100 million. Prior to Shryne Group, Mr. Minor was the CFO of Solace Holdings/Aether Gardens, a private equity backed cannabis company focused on production and extraction. Further to Marshall’s strong cannabis knowledge, he brings senior executive experience as a CFO of a billion-dollar real estate development company, Vice President of Corporate Finance and M&A for MGM Resorts in Las Vegas and extensive capital markets and investment banking experience with bulge bracket firms in New York and regional firms in California.

“My diverse career path has allowed me to work across several high-caliber companies, generating development growth in some of the most sophisticated and competitive markets within cannabis, real estate, and investment banking,” said Minor. “I’m looking forward to applying my experience gained on Wall Street, Main Street, and in the cannabis world to GABY and helping it establish its place as a leader in the cannabis market,” said Mr. Minor.

“Marshall’s hiring comes at an exciting time for GABY as it expands its retail operations across California,” said Margot Micallef, Founder and CEO of GABY. “Mr. Minor’s impressive executive history in cannabis, gaming and investment banking will be a major asset to GABY shareholders as we continue to make acquisitions and expand the GABY brand across California. The right leadership talent is paramount in a high growth company like GABY, and I am excited about GABY’s future with the executive team I have brought together.”

GABY continues to realize synergies from its merger with Mankind and will be consolidating its distribution and manufacturing facilities from a segmented multi-city effort into a single streamlined operation based out of its headquarters of San Diego. To facilitate this change, GABY will be closing its Sonoma Pacific Distribution location in Santa Rosa and will transition all pertinent operations to Wild West Industries. This move will allow Mankind to better serve its customers by decreasing time-to-shelf of products, improving availability of proprietary products, and ensuring a single point of quality assurance, all while furthering the Company’s commitment to sustainability through the decrease of transportation emissions.

The Company is also pleased to confirm that in keeping with its policy of ensuring that all full-time employees of GABY or its subsidiaries are aligned with GABY’s shareholders, it has issued an aggregate of 16,200,000 Restricted Share Units (each an “RSU“) to 102 employees pursuant to the terms of its Restricted Share Unit Plan. Further, the Company has issued an aggregate of 940,000 common shares in the capital of the Company (“Common Shares“) to employees with vested RSU’s and 1,465,667 Common Shares to three consultants who elected pursuant to their consulting agreements to receive compensation in Common Shares instead of cash.

About GABY Inc.
GABY Inc. is a California-focused retail consolidator and the owner of Mankind Dispensary, one of the oldest licensed dispensaries in California. Mankind is a well-known, and highly respected dispensary with deep roots in the California cannabis community operating in San Diego, California. GABY curates and sells a diverse portfolio of products, including its own proprietary brands, Kind Republic™ and Lulu’s™ through Mankind and manufactures and distributes the brands through its wholly-owned subsidiary, Wild West Industries™, based in San Diego. A pioneer in the industry with a multi-vertical retail foundation, and a strong management team with experience in retail, consolidation, and cannabis, GABY is poised to grow its retail operations both organically and through acquisition.
