Organic Garage (TSX-V:OG) Ltd has announced the expansion of its Hand-Picked Partner program to include non-alcoholic beer, wine and spirits through an agreement with Rival House Limited.
The company said special merchandisers will be placed in each store location and Rival House will curate, manage and supply the listings for the specific merchandisers under a revenue share agreement.
“Continuing to expand the Hand-Picked Partner program to help fill out our offer to customers was a priority of ours as we look towards increasing our store count,” Organic Garage (TSX-V:OG) CEO Matt Lurie said in a statement.

“Working with a partner in the non-alcoholic beer, wine and spirit category allows us to tap into the expertise of Rival House, who know the space better than anyone, and allows us to provide a dynamic and unique offer while limiting the cost of inventory and potential shrink that would normally be incurred if we were to manage the category ourselves,” Lurie added.
Organic Garage (TSX-V:OG) noted the Hand-Picked Partner program was successfully established to fulfill certain categories such as specialty cheese, baked goods, sushi, fresh juices, and prepared foods, via third-party partners.
