Sugarmade
Closes Definitive Agreement to Acquire Majority Stake in Nug Avenue - Entering the Hyper-Growth Los Angeles Cannabis Delivery Market
MONROVIA, Calif., February 12, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- via InvestorWire - Sugarmade, Inc. (OTC:SGMD) ("Sugarmade,"
"SGMD" or the "Company"), an innovator in the dynamic California cannabis scene, today announces it
is launching a new business initiative for the licensed delivery of cannabis products to consumers in the Los Angeles metropolitan
area. Via a definitive agreement closed on Feb. 8, 2021, the Company has acquired a 70% stake in the Lynwood, California,
operations of Nug Avenue, a California corporation.
Under the terms of the agreement, Sugarmade has acquired a 70% stake in Nug Avenue for $560,000, allowing the Company to recognize
70% of the revenues and profits from Nug Avenue's Lynwood delivery service operations. Sugarmade also gains first rights
of refusal on all future investments into Nug Avenue and an option on all future business operations, including expansion
into additional delivery areas.
"We strongly believe the LA delivery market is the prime spot for expansion of our business", commented Company
CEO Jimmy Chan. "California is the world's sixth-largest economy, and LA County is by far the most significant
driver, with over 25% of the state's population. The Lynwood, California, site is optimal, as it is located along one
of the major distribution freeways, allowing drivers to efficiently reach the more than 15 million consumers that live within
a 30-mile radius of the new location. We plan to make a big impact on the LA cannabis delivery marketplace".
The California cannabis market continues its rapid growth, with the Southern California sub-market representing the world's
largest single cannabis marketplace. According to the California Department of Tax and Fee Administration, the most recently
reported quarterly period posted an almost 80% increase in cannabis tax compared to the year-ago period. Much of this growth
was driven by increased use of delivery services, as consumers are increasingly relying on home delivery for many goods, including
cannabis.
Mr. Chan continued, "The LA market has distinct tastes and a unique set of product demands, which we plan to meet with
a wide selection of curated products specific to Los Angeles-area consumers. From the Lynwood site, with its near-optimal
location along a major connector, we will be able to service all of Los Angeles Country and the high-value markets of Orange,
Riverside, San Bernardino and Ventura counties. We are looking forward to launching our new delivery service to meet the demands
of Southern California consumers.
