TORONTO, June 08, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Lifeist Wellness Inc. (“Lifeist” or the “Company”) (TSXV: LFST) (FRANKFURT: M5B) (OTCMKTS: LFSWF), a health-tech company that leverages advancements in science and technology to build breakthrough companies that transform human wellness, is pleased to announce the highly successful launch of its premium multi-pack cannabis concentrate offerings in British Columbia through its Canadian cannabis business unit, CannMart Inc. (“CannMart”). The introduction of Roilty Shatter multipacks in April resulted in exceptional sales, with over 3,000 units sold.
“Our successful launch in British Columbia further solidifies Roilty’s trajectory of robust growth, building upon its accomplishments in Ontario, Canada's largest provincial cannabis market," said Daniel Stern, CEO of CannMart. “Discerning consumers in BC highly value the convenience and value proposition of Roilty's multi-packs. Renowned for its exceptional quality and dedication to crafting top-notch concentrates, Roilty has garnered significant recognition. The strong reception and demand for Roilty's multi-pack offerings are a testament to our ability to meet consumer preferences and drive growth within the cannabis market. The early accomplishment in BC paves the way for future expansions and the introduction of exciting products in other regions.”
In the British Columbia market, Roilty exclusively offers concentrate SKUs, achieving a significant 44% store penetration without the support of complementary distillate vape products. Over the past 30 days, the brand has experienced a remarkable 22% increase in points of distribution. The highly anticipated launch of Roilty's multi-pack, featuring Catacomb Kush 0.5G and The Mountain Kush 0.5G shatters in a single package, was met with tremendous success, with stock selling out in less than four weeks contributing to the province's average month-over-month growth of 26%. The multi-packs provide convenience and variety, catering to diverse preferences and offering individuals an opportunity to explore different cannabis experiences in a single package.
The success of this multi-pack offering in the province of British Columbia is mirrored in the release of the same formats in Ontario. Initially the province took on a single multi-pack through the OCS flow-through model which allows for retailers to order directly from a licensed producer. The model allows stores to curate their in-store product mix more effectively for their consumer's needs. The OCS has taken on more multi-packs from Roilty, increasing the SKU count to 6 multi-packs by the end of Q3 2023, including 4 general list products, and 2 flow-through offerings. The strong performance in both British Columbia and Ontario has contributed to increasing gross margins for CannMart and improved overall profitability for Lifeist.
