Nutritional High Announces an Update at Its Dispensary Project in Effingham Illinois

C.EAT | 16 hours ago

TORONTO, ONTARIO--(Marketwired - April 5, 2017) - Nutritional High International Inc. (the "Company" or "Nutritional High") (CSE:EAT)(CSE:EAT.CN)(OTCQB:SPLIF)(FRANKFURT:2NU) is pleased to announce an update for its medical cannabis dispensary in Effingham, IL. Since its grand opening in September 2016, The Clinic Effingham ("TCE") has experienced a strong month-to-month growth in sales and stable gross margins, which are attributed to an expanding patient count and a strong patient and physician outreach program.

TCE achieves a monthly returning patient rate of over 90%, which demonstrates a strong and loyal customer base. To service the patient base, TCE has started working with more cultivators licensed with Illinois Department of Agriculture to expand its product offering, and has also hired additional staff in the effort to provide exceptional customer service.

Given the current pace of business, the need for further capital investment has been greatly reduced and the business is running on a profitable basis before tax. Nutritional High has been impressed with TCE's performance and is looking forward to its continued growth.

Jim Frazier, CEO of Nutritional High commented: "We are excited to see the continuing growth of The Clinic Effingham. We are excited to be a part of this important market as the growth continues to accelerate. On behalf of the Nutritional High team we would like to cordially thank our partners for their continuous support and assistance."

Adam Szweras, Director and Secretary of Nutritional High commented: "We're very proud of the tremendous growth TCE staff has achieved over a relatively short period that the dispensary has been operating. The medical cannabis market in the State of Illinois is a model for the country and the world. We are pleased that TCE revenue growth has surpassed our expectations. On behalf of the Nutritional High team I would like to thank TCE team for their hard work."

Medical Cannabis Pilot Program Update

At this time there are 52 medical cannabis dispensaries operating in the state, with TCE continuing to be the only one in ISP District 12.
