  • Revised design of Phase 1 of the Daly Distribution build-out increases capacity by 16,000 square feet, allowing the Company to expand this core business unit to service escalating demand from customers

Vancouver, British Columbia–(July 16, 2020) – TransCanna Holdings Inc. (CSE: TCAN) (XETR: TH8) (“TransCanna” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce that with the recent state-wide final license approval, today its wholly-owned subsidiary, Lyfted Farms, Inc. (“Lyfted”), has begun preparations for the commercial launch of distribution activities at its flagship 196,000 square foot Daly Avenue Facility in Modesto California.

The goal of Phase 1 is to focus on expansion and ramp-up of the companies’ distribution activities. The revised design of Phase 1 of the Daly Distribution build-out increases capacity by 16,000 square feet, allowing the Company to expand this core business unit to service escalating demand from customers.

“After many months of planning and preparation, our team is thrilled to begin operations inside of Daly,” said CEO Bob Blink. “We look forward to rewarding our investors’ patience with this initial phase and present the true potential we believe The Daly Building has to offer. As early as Q4 2020, we expect to see an incremental increase in revenue from Distribution activities in the vicinity of $6,000,000 CDN per quarter. When combined with existing revenues, our target run-rate by our fiscal year-end should exceed previous projections and be in the neighborhood of $36,000,000 CDN.”

Lyfted Farms has accepted a contract with Bay Alarm Company to install a state of the art, integrated security system in preparation for commercial activity at the Daly facility. Pre-site preparations are underway, and system completion is expected by August 15, 2020.

Additionally, the facility’s triple-redundancy heating, ventilation, and air conditioning “HVAC,” sub-forty-degree Fahrenheit freezer, and distribution area systems have been activated for pre-cooling and calibration within the areas of operation. Employee technician training has started on the Company’s high speed automated packaging systems, combining WeighPack Swifty Baggers and Combiscale 14-head rotary scales to provide high-efficiency and precision filling, which reduce labor and material costs to industry-leading levels.

Packaging and support materials began arriving this week into the Daly distribution center with completion of the Phase 1 Distribution build-out expected by September 15, 2020.

VaynerSports Continues Its Expansion With Gaming Division

  • Gary Vaynerchuk, “I have been quietly paying attention to the gaming industry for over a decade, building relationships and following the trends. One of the most exciting things about it, for me, is the gamers themselves. And when I look at the culture, the interest in the sector from other athletes, artists, celebrities – it is enormous. This is a very significant expansion for VaynerSports.”

By Michael Scott

The Vaynerchuk duo of AJ and Gary have been in the news of late as their athletic talent agency, VaynerSports, most recently announced an expansion into the world of baseball.

Now, VaynerSports has spawned VaynerGaming, the agency’s first foray into the world of esports and gaming personalities.

According to the eSports Observer, VaynerGaming will be led by veteran marketing agent Darren Glover. Glover was most recently the CEO of Wombo Sports, a media and entertainment agency focused on gaming and the e-sports culture.

VaynerGaming will also be led by AJ Vaynerchuk and Mike Neligan who both run VaynerSports.

As it relates to the elder Vaynerchuk, Gary, this is not his first venture into the world of e-sports and gaming. Vaynerchuk is an investor in the Minnesota RØKKR – a team in the Call of Duty League.

Says Gary Vaynerchuk, “I have been quietly paying attention to the gaming industry for over a decade, building relationships and following the trends. One of the most exciting things about it, for me, is the gamers themselves. And when I look at the culture, the interest in the sector from other athletes, artists, celebrities – it is enormous. This is a very significant expansion for VaynerSports.”

To that end, VaynerGaming already has its first client in the 2019 Esports Gamer of the Year, Kyle “Bugha” Giersdorf. Bugha boasts over 1.1M unique followers on Twitter and roughly 2.98M subscribers on YouTube at just 17 years old.

Although Bugha has made his brand in Fortnite, it is apparent that VaynerGaming will be a serious player and foundational leader in this space that is sure to create a path to representation for other gamers.
