- Represents the Company’s second exclusively-managed dispensary in the key Phoenix market – an important competitive advantage as the Arizona market evolves.
- Relationship expected to drive further awareness of VEXT’s in-house brands and biomass synergies through the ownership of an offsite cultivation facility in Prescott Valley.
VANCOUVER, BC, July 14, 2020 /CNW/ – Vext Science, Inc. (“VEXT” or the “Company”) (OTCQX: VEXTF) (CSE: VEXT) a cannabinoid brand leader leveraging core expertise in extraction, manufacturing, cultivation and marketing to build wholesale distribution through revenue and joint ventures, today announced that it has obtained the Certificate of Occupancy for a second dispensary location in North Phoenix, which will be leased by “Organica Patient Group Medical Marijuana Dispensary” (the “Organica Dispensary”). On April 8, 2020, VEXT announced that it had closed the acquisition of RDF Management Company, LLC (“RDF”), and its intellectual property (the “Transaction”). RDF provides exclusive turn-key services for the management, administration and operation of Organica Patient Group, Inc. (“Organica”), an Arizona not for profit corporation, which was issued and holds in good standing, a Medical Marijuana Dispensary Registration Certificate.
The current Organica Dispensary has operated in the Chino Valley since 2013, with a cultivation facility located in the Prescott Valley. VEXT’s acquisition of RDF enables the Company to assist the Organica Dispensary in relocating to the metropolitan Phoenix area, to offer its products and services to a broader and growing patient population. The terms of the Transaction were disclosed in a press release dated April 8, 2020. The new dispensary will operate under the Herbal Wellness Center branding, to immediately drive greater market recognition and synergies.
Management Commentary
“This announcement supports our value added strategy in Arizona of managing high volume dispensary locations, while expanding cultivation and state of the art managed extraction and kitchen facilities,” said Eric Offenberger, CEO of VEXT. “Arizona is already one of the largest medical cannabis markets in the U.S. and as it evolves, is expected to continue to be one of the most exciting opportunities in the country. By continuing to increase our presence in the key Phoenix market, we are positioned to serve existing patients even better and expand our patient base, while increasing the visibility of our portfolio of in-house brands and driving returns for shareholders. Most of our current financial results come from a combination of one operated dispensary in Phoenix and our wholesale operations, which touch 80% of the dispensaries in the state. This is a significant step for VEXT and represents just one of several growth drivers for the Company over the next 12 months, including the recent start-up of our joint ventures in Oklahoma and Kentucky and joint operation in California.”
The new Herbal Wellness Center dispensary is located in North Phoenix at 1720 E Deer Valley Rd, Phoenix, AZ and is open from 8 am until 10 pm PST. The dispensary is conveniently located near a high traffic shopping and business center and is located close to major thoroughfares.
