My take. If NGW is planning to double or triple capacity, as Mike has stated, they will need more dispensaries to sell their products in the near future. NGW will now have a distributor relationship to act as their sales force leaving NGW to focus on what they do best, growing and extracting premium cannabis.
Also NGW's extraction facility is about to come online and should be producing much higher volumes of concentrate products for themselves, and other growers. NGW could be a growers one stop shop to extract, package, brand, and distribute their products for them using a fee based menu for services provided.
With the upcoming increase in flower and extraction capacity NGW will need a trusted distribution network to keep the product flowing without interruption. That's my take on it. gl
