Item 9 Labs Woman CEO and Minority Board Members Awarded Processor Provisional License for Strive Wellness of Ohio


GRAFTON, Ohio, March 20, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Item 9 Labs Corp. (OTC: INLB) (Item 9 Labs or the Company), a leading developer and manufacturer of innovative cannabis products and proprietary delivery platforms, today announced CEO Sara Gullickson and African-American Advisory Board Members Donald Burton and Larry K. Lemons were awarded a processor provisional license for Strive Wellness of Ohio, LLC. The entity qualified as a disadvantaged group due to its minority-led ownership team.

Item 9 Labs is in the process of negotiating a partnership agreement with Strive Wellness of Ohio to fund the management of the operation and introduce the Company’s diverse product suites. Item 9 Labs was ranked one of the fastest growing concentrate brands in Arizona and will enter the Nevada market later this year.

Strive Wellness of Ohio was acknowledged as one of the top scoring applicants in the highly competitive licensing process. The Medical Marijuana Control Program at the Ohio Department of Commerce received 104 processor applications for 40 licenses.

The provisional license authorizes Strive Wellness of Ohio to begin construction and to secure applicable local permits in order to pursue its Certificate of Operation. The proposed facility will be located in Grafton City, Lorain County, covering 7,000 square-feet on a property parcel compliant with zoning requirements.

“The real estate we secured allows for additional expansion so we can meet patient demands as the Ohio program grows,” stated Sara Gullickson. “We look forward to bringing trusted and innovative cannabis health solutions to the Ohio Market.”

Ohio dispensaries took in more than $300,000 in their first month of sales, outpacing other medical markets including Massachusetts and Hawaii.

Item 9 Labs will be operating as licensed dispensaries, cultivation, and manufacturing facilitis in a projected ten U.S. markets by the end of 2019.
