(NASDAQ: FLGC) (“Flora” or the “Company”), a leading all-outdoor cultivator and manufacturer of global cannabis products and brands, announced today that its newly acquired brand, JustCBD, has signed a deal with airport distribution juggernaut OTG Management to sell their CBD products in airports.
As part of the deal, JustCBD will begin selling its premium CBD products in US airports through distribution company OTG Management, which is a leading operator of airport restaurants and retail storefronts.
“Airport retail sales represent a billion-dollar business and we’re proud to have our JustCBD brand be accepted as one of the first world-class CBD lines of product to be distributed in US airports,” Flora CEO Luis Merchan said. “As Flora continues to execute on its strategy to build a global house of brands and become one of the world’s largest distributors of cannabis derivatives, availability of JustCBD products in airports across the US is a meaningful step forward in our growth.
