ROCKLEDGE, Fla., July 12, 2017 -- Elev8 Brands, Inc. (OTC Pink:VATE), a holding company focused on the commercial development of hemp and CBD-based products including hemp coffee, tea, and E-juices, which target the health and wellness markets, announces it has received the first major order of CBD tinctures to be sold at Uncle Stu’s Smoke and Vape Chicago retail stores.
Uncle Stu’s Smoke and Vape is a growing vape shop chain that provides a unique customer experience and large varieties of E-Juices, hardware, glass and CBD products. The company has experienced tremendous growth opening five stores throughout the Chicago area and surrounding suburbs with additional stores slated to open later this year.
Uncle Stu’s initially test marketed Elev8 Hemp CBD tinctures and E-juices in eight different flavors. Reviews were well received for both products, but unanticipated was the strong demand for CBD tinctures. Elev8 Brands, Inc. Chief Executive Officer Ryan Medico explained, “We found from our test trials with Uncle Stu’s that many customers came to their store searching for CBD products were 50 years or older and seeking relief from ailments such as arthritis, inflammation and anxiety. This proves demand is there and we appreciate the expanded opportunity from Uncle Stu’s.”
Stuart “Uncle Stu” Adams, who is the owner and operator of Uncle Stu’s Smoke and Vape, is also a partner of a large vape store wholesaler that services over 100 retail vape shop locations in the Midwest.
