(“Planet 13” or the “Company“), a leading vertically-integrated Nevada cannabis company, announced today that it received the top award in the retail category during the MJBizDaily Awards Gala. The inaugural award was presented to the Company as part of the MJBiz Conference in Las Vegas, the world’s largest cannabis conference and tradeshow. The award program recognizes global leaders, both companies and individuals, for their excellence and impact on the hemp and cannabis industries.

“We are thrilled to be recognized by MJBizDaily as the leader in American cannabis retail. Our focus on creating a unique cannabis retail destination centered on customer experience, innovation, and entertainment has been key to our success in driving ~2,000 paying customers on average per day and generating ~10% of Nevada’s cannabis sales,” said Larry Scheffler Co-CEO of Planet 13.

The award follows on the heels of a Clio Cannabis Award in Brand Design Planet 13 received weeks ago for the packaging of its new Dreamland Chocolates™ line of products – awarded by Clio Cannabis/High Times that celebrates the creators at the forefront of cannabis marketing and communications. In addition to the MJBiz Retail award and the High Times design award one of Planet 13’s budtenders was recently voted as a top ten budtenders in America at the inaugural Budtender awards.
