Todays new research datatrends in the new research today about sales of beverages in Canada. B.C. and Ontario are showing a marked increase in beverage sales over the past 15 days. If this trend continues throught the summer the sales of beverages will be 5.71 times higher this year over last years totals. Sales from existing stores from last year to this years sales are trending at a 5.29 times pace. The new stores that have come online are trending at 6.42 times in comparision to existing stores. Sales of all other pot products are about the same per existing store, sales of other pot products in new stores are about the same as exisiting stores so those pot sectors percentage increase over last year will depend on the number of new stores coming online over the past 12 months. Only beverages are seeing a sharp increase in sales. Add this information to the fact the OCS has reduced the number of beverages on their shelves to 62 down one more from last weeks 63. Purchase numbers per visit went from 4.5 units last year to at present and climbing weekly to 10.5 units per visit, 28 days ago it was 8.3 units per visit. Like I said the beverage companies left standing at summers end will have had a gang buster beverages season.
