TINLEY'S HEMPLIFY LISTED IN 50TH STORE
The Tinley Beverage Company Inc.'s Hemplify product is now available in 50 stores.
Hemplify has now shipped to stores in California, Nevada, Washington, Colorado, North Carolina and Minnesota. These stores include smoke and head shops, as well as the previously announced eight-store trial with a major convenience store chain, a new six-convenience store trial placed by a California-based distributor and direct store sales, including Vintage Grocers in Malibu, Calif.
Tinley is also pleased to announce that it has entered into a vendor agreement with an on-line store that is owned and operated by a national vitamin retailer. Hemplify continues to be available on Amazon and on the Hemplify website.
"We are pleased to have achieved this milestone during our first six weeks of sales. It advances the first phase of our sales strategy, which involves selling to influencer stores in key target markets. Simultaneously, we continue to make inroads with higher-velocity natural food and grocery chains, which represent phase two of our sales strategy and which inherently involves longer sales cycles. We also continue to monitor developments related to the Nov. 8 ballot initiative on cannabis legalization in California, where our bottling operations are based, as well as Nevada, where we have achieved initial retail presence," said Jeff Maser, chief executive officer of Tinley.
