LAS VEGAS, April 3, 2019 /CNW/ - Planet 13 Holdings Inc. (CSE: PLTH) (OTCQB: PLNHF) ("Planet 13" or the "Company"), a leading vertically-integrated Nevada cannabis company, today announced monthly statistics for the Planet 13 Las Vegas Cannabis Entertainment Complex, (the "SuperStore") since opening November 1^st, 2018.

"We opened Phase 1 of the 112,000 square foot Planet 13 Cannabis Entertainment Complex, a 16,200 square foot dispensary, on November 1^st, 2018 and I am very pleased to announce that in March we had 1,987 paying customers per day at an average ticket of $89.17," said Larry Scheffler, co-CEO of Planet 13. "Monthly revenue in March was over $5 million based on only 15% of the total square footage we have on-site, adjacent to the Las Vegas Strip. To our knowledge, these results are better than what we have seen from any dispensary in the U.S. Customers have shown a desire to engage in an ultra-premium cannabis experience and with an unparalleled, diverse range of high-quality products, and unique entertainment value, the SuperStore is the only property that meets this customer need. In March, almost 100,000 people entered our dispensary, and other companies are starting to realize the value of our shelves, we are in negotiations with multiple companies to sell premium shelf space and advertising.  The Phase II expansion, which includes a coffee shop, pizzeria bistro, an event space, and a consumer-facing production facility is all about building on the success of the SuperStore. Each piece of Phase II is carefully designed to drive additional traffic and cement the SuperStore as a must-visit destination when in Las Vegas."

Bob Groesbeck, Co-CEO of Planet 13 added, "Restrictive advertising rules have prevented cannabis brands from establishing a strong connection with consumers, forcing consumers to look to retail for direction on product choice. Planet 13 is in the best position in the country to help brands create a lasting connection with thousands of customers from all over the world. Our in-house brands are proof of this power. We launched TRENDI in November, and it is already the top-selling concentrate brand in Nevada⁴. Medizin continues to sell out every month, and today we launched our third brand Leaf & Vine. Our new Production Facility will enable us to keep pace with demand while expanding into gummies, chocolates, and beverages and offering our products in other dispensaries across Nevada. The Production facility will feature 115 feet of windows where customers can watch their favourite product get made along with interactive kiosks explaining what goes into each product. This is a powerful branding opportunity creating a deeper connection with the product for customers from all over the U.S."
