BRNT CEO, Gage Gorda said, “During 2020, BRNT commenced with a process to identify a new partner for our Violet Tourist branded products. We had serious inquiries from numerous LP’s in the Country, including some of the largest, but none came close to the product offering capabilities, speed to market, depth of relationships with provincial buyers and most of all internal culture and leadership than Heritage.”
BRNT launched Violet Tourist branded products in Alberta during December of 2020 and per Headset data, up to the end of September 2021 have generated over $2.5 million of wholesale revenue attributed to the brand. Further Headset data indicated that at the end of August 2021, Violet Tourist was the #4 brand in the Alberta pre-roll segment (a category that commands approx. 26% of the overall cannabis market in Alberta) and held 4% of overall retail sales in the province since its launch in December 2020.
“We are thrilled to have executed this Agreement with BRNT as it provides us with control of a brand in Alberta that has proven its ability to capture market in Canada’s second largest market by revenue. Without a cash outlay or issuance of Heritage shares, we secure exclusive cannabis 2.0 rights to Violet Tourist branded products in Alberta and retain control to expand distribution of the brand across the Country and into cannabis 1.0 formats over the duration of the Agreement,” said David Schwede, CEO of Heritage.
