Nevis Brands (CSE:NEVI) Inc, the maker of cannabis-based beverages, has announced a strategic licensing agreement with Stash House for the production and distribution of Major in Missouri.
Major is a 100mg THC beverage, offering flavors like Fruit Punch, Blueberry, and Blackberry (TSX:BB) Lemonade. It has sold over five million bottles since its 2019 launch in Washington State.
Missouri, with its $1.3 billion worth of cannabis sales in 2023, represents a lucrative market for Major.
The state will become the ninth in Major's expanding footprint, which already includes Washington, Oregon, Arizona, Ohio, Colorado, Nevada, and upcoming launches in California and Michigan.
"Missouri has been a target market of ours for some time and we are pleased to be working with a partner that is a leader in both production and distribution of edible cannabis products," said John Kueber, chief executive of Nevis Brands (CSE:NEVI). "We look forward to collaborating with Stash House and serving consumers in Missouri."
The announcement comes two months after Nevis secured an agreement with VBJG Mt Clemens LLC – also known as 'Emerald Canning Partners' – to exclusively produce and distribute Major in Michigan.
