Southern California Grocery Chain Jensen’s Begins Carrying KOIOS™ Nootropic Beverages February 25, 2021
https://ca.finance.yahoo.com/news/southern-california-grocery-chain-jensen-100000434.html?soc_src=social-sh&soc_trk=tw&tsrc=twtr
DENVER and VANCOUVER, British Columbia, Feb. 25, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Koios Beverage Corp. (CSE: KBEV; OTC: KBEVF) (the "Company" or "Koios") is pleased to announce that the full range of five flavours of its KOIOS™ nootropic beverages can now be purchased at all grocery stores operated by Jensen’s Foods (“Jensen’s”), a long-established family-owned grocery chain operating in the San Diego, Los Angeles, and Palm Springs areas of Southern California. In a press release dated February 19, 2021, the Company announced another chain-wide placement of KOIOS™ nootropic beverages on the west coast of the United States with Market of Choice in Oregon. With this placement of KOIOS™ in Jensen’s supermarkets, the Company’s beverage products are now carried in approximately 180 retail stores on the west coast, out of a total of more than 4,000 retail stores nationwide.
The first Jensen’s market was established in California in 1940 in Blue Jay (San Bernardino county), later expanding into a 25,000 square foot building which allowed for the addition of a bakery using traditional Danish recipes. The growth of Jensen’s into a regional chain was led by its current President Gene Fulton, who began working at Jensen’s as a cleaner at age 17 in 1957, and in 1970 arranged to purchase the market from its current owner Einer Jensen upon his retirement. In 1981, this acquisition was completed and Mr. Fulton promptly opened a new store in Cedar Glen, CA named Jensen’s Minute Shoppe; a convenience store concept which is still in operation today along with another location in Rancho Mirage, CA. Throughout the remainder of the 20th century, 2000s and 2010s, Jensen’s continued to open new supermarkets across Southern California, including locations in mountain communities such as Wrightwood and Running Springs. Jensen’s now operates a total of eight grocery stores, which have proven to be remarkably desirable workplaces with several employees having worked for the Jensen’s chain for nearly 40 years.....

Hi Getitgogone.
Good to see ya again.
Namaste's been a heck of a ride since the early days & the last time you were here.
After 2 years of downtrend, I think it's closer to turning the corner.
Certainly has potential if Meni can show some execution with their CannMart marketplace platform. Good to see them start to roll it out.
Heck, it'd be sweet to catch another parabolic run.

TORONTO, Feb. 12, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Namaste Technologies Inc. (“Namaste” or the “Company”) (TSXV: N) (FRANKFURT: M5BQ) (OTCMKTS: NXTTF) a marketplace platform for cannabis and wellness products, is pleased to announce that its wholly owned subsidiary CannMart Labs Inc. (“CannMart Labs”) has received a standard processing licence from Health Canada (the “Standard Processing Licence”). The Company will now focus on the next step in the process, which is commissioning the equipment, a process which will commence immediately. The Company will leverage its existing sales licence through CannMart Inc. to bring our recreational products to provinces in Canada where Namaste already has a distribution network in place. We expect to have CannMart Labs manufactured products in the market by the end of Q2 2021.
Highlights of CannMart Labs:
CannMart Labs facility in Ontario is established for BHO extraction using leading extraction technology, making it one of only a few facilities in Canada with such capabilities.
Set to produce in-house branded Cannabis 2.0 products for medical channel customers at CannMart.com and recreational customers across Canada through sister company CannMart's network of provincial sales partners.
Cannabis 2.0 products initially planned include shatter, live resin, badder, wax and others with capabilities to expand future distillate product offerings to vape cartridges, gel capsules, tinctures and edibles. In addition, we will be looking to add solventless products such as rosin to our portfolio in the near future.
Namaste owns 100% of the CannMart Labs facility, which is located in Etobicoke, Ontario, a purpose-built oil extraction facility which incorporates a leading extraction technology facility designed to meet EU Good Manufacturing Practice (EU-GMP) certification requirements. We will look at selling our manufactured products to other licensed producers and other sales channels as they become available.

Koios Begins Distribution Initiatives in the Convenience Channel with 200+ Store Placements to Date in Colorado Including 7-Eleven and Shell Locations
2021-02-12 07:00 ET - News Release
https://www.stockwatch.com/News/Item?bid=Z-C:KBEV-3031167&symbol=KBEV®ion=C
DENVER and VANCOUVER, British Columbia, Feb. 12, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Koios Beverage Corp. (CSE: KBEV; OTC: KBEVF) (the "Company" or "Koios") recently began initiatives to place its canned beverage products in convenience stores to align its distribution channels with current purchasing patterns of the Company’s target customers, particularly in light of changes related to the COVID-19 pandemic. Retailer accounts in the convenience channel have ordered Koios’ canned beverages (predominantly Fit Soda™, with quantities of KOIOS™) from the Company’s distributors, resulting in placements in more than 200 convenience stores throughout the state of Colorado, including locations of national chains such as 7-Eleven and Shell. With over 100 convenience stores added in Q4 2020 as well as over 100 convenience stores to date in Q1 2021, Koios anticipates its beverage products will be placed in approximately 1,000 convenience stores in the United States by the end of the calendar year. As of this writing, the Company’s beverage products are sold in over 4,000 retail points of sale in the United States, as well as online through Walmart and Amazon, in addition to the Company’s online store. By enriching its multichannel retail strategy with a new focus on convenience stores, the Company intends to further expand its footprint in the functional beverage category, which was classified as one of the Highest Growth Potential consumer and retail (“C&R”) investment categories by KPMG in 2020, with an estimated market value of USD $208.13 billion by 2024 and a compound annual growth rate (“CAGR”) of 8.66% from 2019 to 20241.
Over the course of 2020, convenience stores have played an increasingly significant role in the U.S. retail sector. Prior to the COVID-19 pandemic, many convenience stores enjoyed greater traffic due to macro-level factors such as busier lifestyles and smaller households, which appear to cause consumers to gravitate towards making smaller purchases more frequently at local shops2. Approximately 93% of Americans live within a few minutes of a convenience store, with about 80% of convenience stores in the United States also being gas stations3, allowing for sustained patronage from local residents and motorists alike. The prevalence of convenience stores in American neighbourhoods may also have enabled growth in delivery app orders from convenience stores for everyday purchases, which increased by 346% in 20204. Retail technology giant NCR Corporation (“National Cash Register”) published a report in 2020 detailing the importance of convenience and fuel retailers in the COVID-19 pandemic, with one key attribute being how consumers are often turning to convenience stores as an alternative to grocery stores, which tend to sell out of essential items (e.g., non-perishable food, cleaning supplies) more rapidly5.
Despite continued restrictions related to COVID-19 in several regions of the United States, lower incidence rates in the state of Colorado have allowed for reopenings of many businesses at limited capacities to include restaurants for indoor dining, as well as fitness centres6. The Company believes that these reopenings could have contributed to a steady sell-through and reorder rate of its canned beverage products at new convenience points of sale in Colorado.
Koios Chief Executive Officer Chris Miller commented, “Our Fit Soda™ functional beverage product has become very popular ever since it launched in July of 2019, and it now makes more sense than ever for it to be carried in convenience stores alongside leading national brand names of sports drinks. As we announced in our May 21, 2020 press release, more than 50% of purchases from our online store are from repeat customers, and returns amount to less than 1% of our gross sales. With these levels of loyalty and retention, our objective is to maximize availability of our beverages to our customers in the places they prefer to shop, and convenience stores are becoming a prominent channel for this category. We hope to keep up our momentum with landing convenience store placements, and our goal is to reach 1,000 convenience stores by the end of 2021 as we seek to grow our overall footprint in this dynamic and rapidly evolving category.”
A major new development, our soon-to-be-released Active Sync will increase the speed of our assortment sync.
This will become the cornerstone of our new infrastructure - streamlining internal processes & paving the way for additional growth.

CALGARY, Alberta, Feb. 11, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Sugarbud Craft Growers Corp. (TSXV: SUGR, SUGR.WT, SUGR.WS, SUGR.DB) ("Sugarbud" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that it has entered into a national product purchase and supply agreement (the "Supply Agreement"), for the Company’s Cannabis 2.0 products with CannMart Inc. ("CannMart").
Sugarbud is also pleased to announce that, as part of the previously announced contract manufacturing agreement with Heritage Cannabis Holdings Corp. (CSE: CANN) ("Heritage") (the "Manufacturing Agreement"), it has completed the final development and qualification of its additive-free, 100% cannabis full-spectrum vape cartridges.
Supply Agreement
Under the terms of the Supply Agreement, CannMart will have the ability to purchase Sugarbud branded cannabis extract products for subsequent national distribution and sale to provincially/territorially authorized distributors/retailers under their own sales license and Sugarbud will process and package the Sugarbud branded craft cannabis extract products on behalf of CannMart. The agreement with CannMart is subject to customary regulatory, licensing and new product notification requirements.
“Our entry into the adult use recreational Cannabis 2.0 market in Canada is a major catalyst for the company and we couldn’t be more excited to be partnering with CannMart to accelerate our plans to bring our expanded Sugarbud Craft Cannabis Collection to our target markets and consumers in Canada,” stated Sugarbud CEO, John Kondrosky.
“Our partnership with CannMart is a very significant step forward in the rapid evolution of our Company and just another example of how we continue to focus and execute against our strategic priorities and hit the milestones we have laid out for the Company. Together with our previously launched dried cannabis platform of products, our partnership with CannMart both expands and accelerates our penetration into our core focus markets,” concluded Mr. Kondrosky.
“We are pleased to welcome Sugarbud to our portfolio as many companies are seeing added value in Namaste’s distribution footprint,” said Meni Morim, CEO of Namaste Technologies Inc. (TSXV: N) CannMart’s parent company. “We look forward to working closely with our new partner to expand their reach to Canadian cannabis consumers.”
Sugarbud now expects to be in a position to begin shipping its Sugarbud branded cannabis extract products to provincially/territorially authorized distributors/retailers by the end of Q1 2021.
The Company’s agreement with CannMart also covers the time between today’s announcement and when Sugarbud expects to receive authorization from Health Canada to sell its Cannabis extract products directly to provincially/territorially authorized distributors/retailers and registered patients.
The Company expects approval for its own amended sales license permitting the direct sale of cannabis extracts in early Q3 of 2021.
Manufacturing Agreement
Under the terms of the previously announced manufacturing agreement, Heritage will continue to provide Sugarbud with extraction, formulation and production services for the ongoing supply of its pre-filled vape cartridges utilizing proprietary, additive-free 100% cannabis formulations.

New cannabis derivative products and formats such as vape cartridges and pens are a rapidly growing segment of the Canadian adult-use recreational market and Sugarbud expects that its high-quality, additive-free 100% cannabis vape products will become a significant catalyst for future growth.
"We are confident that our partnership with Heritage will equip Sugarbud to deliver high quality products to consumers with the safety, integrity and exceptional outcomes they demand," concluded Mr. Kondrosky.

The company expects to start selling smoking accessories and hemp-derived CBD to US customers on its website cannmart.com by the end of February
Namaste Technologies Inc (CVE:N) (OTCMKTS:NXTTF) (FRA:M5BQ) announced that it has received approval from the TSX Venture Exchange to sell smoking accessories and hemp-derived CBD in the US.
The company noted that it expects the products to be available to US customers on its website www.cannmart.com by the end of February, in collaboration with DankStop and PeakBirch Logic, Inc, as Namaste looks forward to leveraging its VendorLink technology.

He added: “The expansion also fits squarely into our evolution into a wellness company, connecting consumers to their wellness needs of tomorrow.”
“The company is encouraged by the recent statements of US Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer and his colleagues on seeking an end to cannabis prohibition in the US as a legislative priority: We obviously welcome the news.”
Morim continued: “It’s no secret that we intend to use this expansion as a beachhead, applying our VendorLink platform with a view to new US wellness frontiers, including new nutraceutical products, by the end of fiscal 2021, and, if Senator Schumer and friends are successful and legislation permits, maybe one day, cannabis.”
Namaste Technologies is a cannabis-focused, e-commerce technology company with a goal of becoming the one-stop-shop for everything a cannabis user needs.
The Toronto-based company, which has been described as the “Amazon of cannabis,” operates the largest global cannabis e-commerce platform with over 30 websites in more than 20 countries under a variety of brands.
