Andrew Glashow President and COO of CLS holdings stated “October was another record month for our Oasis Cannabis dispensary, in terms of customers served, revenue and gross margin. Halloween saw the largest single day for the dispensary eclipsing 4/20 of this year. We continue to see our operating divisions operating profitably.

While the results are a complete team effort, Andrea Carter, head of marketing since March 2019, successfully took on the challenge of implementing a strategy to align our marketing efforts to meet the demands of our growing dispensary customer base. During this period of time we have experienced dramatic growth in revenue and customer visits. We are now able to offer products and targeted offerings to meet the demands of our rapidly growing customer base.”

“City Trees reported slightly lower revenue compared to October 2018. The decrease was the result of receiving some orders late in the month that are being shipped in November. Additionally, City Trees is transitioning from its current 1100 square foot operations into a brand-new $3 million 9000 square foot foot state-of-the-art manufacturing facility. This is a remarkable event for us as it will increase our ability to manufacture our own branded products, is expected to increase profitability and will allow us to manufacture for third-party brands what we believe will be the safest high-quality cannabis products in the Nevada marketplace”.

“As part of our continuing commitment to safety, we have recently taken the added step of testing our City Trees products for vitamin E acetate, which according to published reports is believed to have caused an outbreak of lung related illnesses across the country. These lung related illnesses were reported as we were obtaining third-party Certificates of Analysis that we intend to provide to our customers as transparent evidence demonstrating that our City Trees products are made using only the finest ingredients. We will never waiver from our commitment to provide the market with products that are accurately labeled and safe.”

“Finally, we’ve also added Dominick Monaco, a recognized leader in overseeing, building and running conversion and extraction facilities throughout the United States, to our team”.
