Point Arena Distribution, LLC is Wholly Owned Subsidiary of GSRX Industries Inc.

DORADO, Puerto Rico, June 21, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- GSRX Industries Inc. (GSRX) (“GSRX” or, the “Company”) announced today that its wholly owned subsidiary, Point Arena Distribution, LLC (“Point Arena Distribution”) has received formal approval from Mendocino County’s Coastal Development Commission to conduct commercial cannabis distribution activities in Point Arena, CA, clearing the way for the Company to complete construction of its manufacturing facility there and to begin manufacturing and distribution operations following final inspection.   In April, Point Arena Distribution received its Temporary Distribution License for Adult and Medicinal Cannabis Products from the California Bureau of Cannabis Control.

Following a public hearing, the Coastal Development Commission granted unanimous approval of Point Arena Distribution’s application, an important step towards the commencement of operations at the Company’s new adult and medicinal cannabis products manufacturing and distribution business in Point Arena, CA. 

Fueled by the tremendous growth in vaping, Point Arena Manufacturing will engage primarily in the manufacture and distribution of cannabis concentrate products related to vape cartridge filling and fulfillment.  According to cannabis investment and market research firm Arcview vape cartridges, a once-overlooked product category with sales of less than $100 million in 2014, boasted sales of $2.9 billion in 2018, with sales estimated to reach $8.4 billion in 2022, nearly matching estimated flower sales of $8.5 billion.

The Company has signed a long-term lease for a building in Point Arena which will serve as Point Arena Distribution headquarters.  Operations will commence at the location upon final facility buildout.
