The Cannabist Company Holdings Inc. (NEO: CBST) (OTCQX: CBSTF) (FSE: 3LP), one of the largest and most experienced cultivators, manufacturers and retailers of cannabis products in the U.S., announced today an expansion of its partnership with Airo, an industry-leading cannabis brand focused on unique and cutting-edge vapor delivery systems and one-of-a-kind oils.
The partnership expansion will be the first to introduce Airo’s unparalleled and proprietary vaporizing experience to West Virginia through the Company’s five Cannabist dispensaries. Airo will also be available through the Company’s wholesale channels. The vape brand will continue to roll out across the Company’s dispensary network in markets such as Virginia and Pennsylvania over the next few months, pending regulatory approval. The Cannabist Company first teamed up with Airo in November of 2023 in Delaware, with its cutting-edge vaporizers and oils quickly becoming top-selling products at Cannabist locations state-wide.
“Our partnership with Airo has been extremely successful thus far in Delaware and our customers are really enjoying their unique tropical flavors and jolt of energy while using the products,” said Volley Hayhurst, VP, Operations, The Cannabist Company. “We couldn’t be more excited to expand this relationship into West Virginia and are looking forward to continued growth and collaboration with the Airo team. It’s fun working with one of the most wide-reaching and dynamic companies in the cannabis industry to create the best products possible.”
“We’re thrilled to expand our reach into the West Virginia market thanks to this collaboration,” said Richard Yost, CEO, Airo Brands. “Our relationship with The Cannabist Company aligns with our commitment to elevating the cannabis experience for customers by providing unique and high-quality vape products.”
The Cannabist Company will introduce Airo Brands’ proprietary vapor systems AiroPro, AiroSport, and AiroX Disposable, as well as its unique AiroPod cartridge oil formulations including its Strain Series and Artisan Series.
