Dixie Brands Inc. (“Dixie” or “the Company”) (CSE: DIXI.U), (OTCQX: DXBRF), (Frankfurt: 0QV), one of the cannabis industry’s leading consumer packaged goods (“CPG”) companies, today announced that its wholly-owned subsidiary, AcesoHemp’s,  portfolio of broad-spectrum cannabidiol (CBD)-infused balms will be on shelves in approximately 1,100 Dollar General stores in December, 2019.

AcesoHemp is the next generation in hemp-derived CBD, combining plant and food science to develop highly targeted broad-spectrum hemp-infused formulations for people looking for natural alternatives in their wellness regimens. One of the first entrants into the category, AcesoHemp brings a deep understanding of the industry’s complex regulatory structure and expertise in the production of safe, effective and compliant products.

AcesoHemp’s Heat and Cool Balms have been chosen by Dollar General for distribution in approximately 1,100 stores across Kentucky and Tennessee in December, as the retail giant takes a pioneering stance in response to growing consumer demand for trusted CBD-infused topical brands. Dollar General plans to expand the availability of their CBD-infused topical portfolio to seven more states by spring 2020.

“We are thrilled that Dollar General chose AcesoHemp as a partner as they blaze a trail with this emerging category,” said Hilal Tabsh, Vice President of Marketing and Distribution at AcesoHemp. “Our high quality, trusted topical Heat & Cool Balms fit incredibly well with Dollar General’s consumer offering and we are looking forward to growing this exciting new category with them.”

Along with their CBD wholesale partner Market Hub, Dollar General is building a category solution for their customers, helping them navigate a complex new category with a dedicated in-store display providing an assortment of CBD-infused topicals. “We are very pleased to be the official CBD partner with Dollar General, helping them educate and inform their customers by offering a curated range of high quality CBD-infused topicals of the caliber of AcesoHemp.”, said Blake Paterson, CEO for Market Hub.
