-HempFusion Wellness Inc. (TSX:CBD.U) (OTCQX:CBDHF) (FWB:8OO) (“HempFusion” or the “Company”), a leading health and wellness company offering premium probiotic supplements and products containing CBD, is pleased to announce that another Top 15 US supermarket chain has launched HempFusion products in the Southeast United States.

“This new Top 15 US grocery retailer builds upon our recent announcements of launching our ingestible and topical CBD products at a major Arizona grocery chain as well as the four SKUs our Sagely Naturals division launched inside a Top 10 publicly listed US Food, Drug & Mass (FDM) retailer,” said Jason Mitchell, N.D., HempFusion‘s Co-Founder and Chief Executive Officer. “Increasingly, retail grocery chains are investing in bringing established health and wellness brands to consumers. Since the beginning of 2021, HempFusion, and its family of brands, has grown the number of doors for our products from approximately 15,000 locations to over 18,000 locations, establishing the Company as a leading health and wellness brand across our multi-channel strategy including the FDM channel. Our recent guidance to the market stated that we would launch 2,000 more locations before the end of 2021 and we have already exceeded that target with more than 3,000 new locations to date and growing,” continued Dr. Mitchell.
HempFusion is the first brand in this Southeastern United States grocery retailer to be on-shelf in the analgesic section with an OTC Pain Relief cream featuring menthol 1.75% and broad-spectrum hemp derived CBD. The skin nourishing cream will be available in approximately 400 stores.
Twelve additional SKUs of HempFusion’s Ingestibles including USDA Certified Organic Tinctures, Gummies, Sleep and Stress Support Capsules, and a variety of Topicals including Eczema Relief Cream and Pain Relief Balm, will be merchandised on CBD fixtures at nearly 100 stores.
