In manufacturing, we secured a partnership with the Tinley Beverage Company, a premier licensed manufacturing company of terpene and cannabis-infused products that owns a 20,000 square foot facility, specifically engineered to manage and manufacture cannabis-infused beverages.
Last month, Tinley successfully executed a merger with Blaze holding, effectively doubling their existing manufacturing capacity. With our high growth priorities, Tinley has quickly proven to be a capable partner that is willing to expand and adapt to meet our total manufacturing needs as we work to establish ourselves in the cannabis industry.
Our distributor and sales partner, CEVA sales and service has also been immensely valuable as we prepared to launch Mary Jones across California. Their sales and distribution capabilities range across the entire state and overall, have secured distribution to over 80% of the dispensaries in the state.
With key customers support and data, they have been essential to our work and strategically positioning Mary Jones for a successful launch and capturing the attention of the cannabis consumer. This brings us to our successful launch of Mary Jones, which has surpassed our high expectations and has already exceeded the forecast that we initially developed.
We already beat our forecasted cannabis product sales number for the entire third quarter by the end of July, and we expect this momentum to continue. Simply put, we are blown away by how positive the reception has been from the community. We have aspirations to become the number one beverage and edibles brand in the cannabis category, and we believe we are on the right path to meet this goal. Given the excellent reception, we have been hard at work negotiating and exploring partnerships with manufacturers, distributors and MSOs across multiple expansion states.
