National Franchise Leader in Tire & Wheel Industry Closes Out Annual Give-Back Initiative.

TAMPA, Fla. — RNR Tire Express, a national franchise leader in the tire and wheel industry, wrapped up the week in celebration after announcing a record-breaking conclusion to their 2022 Mother’s Day Giveaway. More RNR franchise locations participated in the 2022 giveaway than in any year past, which is to account for the more than 5,000 nominations that were submitted on behalf of deserving mothers throughout the country. The annual initiative gifts free sets of tires to select nominees and culminates in the surprise of a lifetime for one hand-picked recipient in the form of a brand new car.

On Friday afternoon, the RNR team arrived at the workplace of Shante Johnson in Safety Harbor, Florida. A single mother of four children, Shante was nominated for this year’s giveaway by her oldest daughter, who shared a glimpse of what her mother’s daily life entailed. From working two full-time jobs to provide for her family, traveling by bus and by foot for all transportation needs, to battling a recent diagnosis with breast cancer, she exemplifies the very best of what the Mother’s Day Giveaway is all about – the recognition and celebration of the commitment, compassion, and bravery displayed by mothers nationwide.

Joined by family, friends, and coworkers, Shante was handed the keys to a brand new 2022 Hyundai Kona to honor the endless work she shoulders and boundless love she’s shown her children as a mother. A life-changing surprise her kids believe was long overdue, if even just to put a bright smile on her face.

“So few make greater sacrifices or tirelessly give themselves to the extent that a mother does on a daily basis,” says Larry Sutton, Founder/CEO of RNR Tire Express. “Hearing the countless stories that come in from all across the nation on mothers who are going the extra mile truly drives that point home, and makes this yearly give-back effort all the more rewarding for our entire team.”

As the franchise continues to grow and enter into new markets in the coming years, so will the annual giveaway, spurring the involvement of an increasing number of franchise locations and attracting hundreds, if not thousands of additional nominations along the way.

“My kids are amazing, and just to know that they recognize the hard work I put in for them is a beautiful thing,” says Shante Johnson. “But for somebody to take notice of that outside of our family is an incredible feeling. Just getting tires would have been amazing. To get a brand new car is something that will help make things so much easier for my family.”

Item 9 Labs Corp. Expands U.S. Footprint Through Growth of Unity Rd. Dispensary Franchise

– Vertically Integrated Cannabis Franchisor and Operator Builds Colorado Retail Footprint Through Acquisitions.

– Local Unity Rd. Partners Secure Dispensary Licenses in New Mexico and South Dakota Cannabis Programs.

PHOENIX — Item 9 Labs Corp. (OTCQX: INLB) (the “Company”) — a vertically integrated cannabis dispensary franchisor and operator that produces premium, award-winning products — announced the accelerated growth of its dispensary franchise model, Unity Rd. across the U.S. with successful expansion into multiple new markets over the past two months.

Currently, the Company has two dispensaries open in Colorado and Oklahoma with development across another 10 states, driven by more than 20 entrepreneurial groups. Item 9 Labs Corp. anticipates this positive momentum to continue throughout 2022 with a focus on fast-tracking franchise development by supporting Unity Rd. franchise partners in acquiring existing dispensaries in Colorado, among other target markets.

Expansion into New Cannabis Markets

The Company’s Unity Rd. franchise opportunity removes the complexities often associated with entering the cannabis market. Through Unity Rd.’s proven and scalable franchise model, entrepreneurs are afforded seamless entry into the booming industry, along with the support system designed to enable their operation of a successful and compliant dispensary in a market that has legalized medicinal or adult-use cannabis sales. The dedicated team, with a combined 120-plus years of legal cannabis experience, guide franchise partners through every operational function of the business including one of the most challenging hurdles – securing a license.

The Item 9 Labs Corp. team recently assisted two of the brand’s first partners in South Dakota and New Mexico in securing state and local approval to operate in their markets’ cannabis programs. The brand’s South Dakota partners, B.J. Olson and Adam Jorgensen, were awarded a license to open one of the first dispensaries in Hartford, a suburb of Sioux Falls, through the South Dakota Medical Cannabis Program. They broke ground on their shop on February 25, 2022 and anticipate being operational this summer.

Meanwhile, New Mexico recently opened to adult-use cannabis on April 1, 2022, and the market is booming. Dispensaries hit nearly $5.2 million in sales for adult-use cannabis products alone within the first weekend, according to the Office of Governor Michelle Lujan Grisham. Unity Rd.’s New Mexico partner was recently awarded three licenses by the state and plans to open his first shop in Ruidoso with two additional cities to follow.

“The relationship between us and our local partners is mutually beneficial, as we together leverage a proven and highly scalable business. We have worked hard to create a repeatable road map that allows eager cannabis entrepreneurs a direct and de-risked route into the complex U.S. cannabis market,” said CEO of Item 9 Labs Corp., Andrew Bowden, adding that the market is set to hit $50 billion in revenue by 2025.

“The recent momentum of our one-of-a-kind franchise model is a testament to the support our team provides our franchise partners,” Bowden continued. “With increased legalization and acceptance of cannabis, we anticipate building on top of our recent successes and furthering our national footprint.”

The Company is also in the midst of rebranding the Unity Rd. shop in Oklahoma City and anticipates a grand opening celebration this summer.

Accelerating National Footprint Through Acquisitions

Item 9 Labs Corp. is actively growing the Unity Rd. national footprint through accretive acquisitions of existing dispensaries that will be converted into Unity Rd. shops and has had recent activity in the Denver market. In early March, the Company closed its acquisition of an existing dispensary retail license and storefront in Adams County, Colorado. This will be the brand’s first corporate-owned shop and is anticipated to open this June. Item 9 Labs Corp. also signed an Asset Purchase Agreement (the “APA”) with The Herbal Cure, a medicinal and recreational dispensary and cultivator operating in the desirable Washington Park neighborhood of Denver. The dispensary generated revenues of $5.4 million last year and will be Unity Rd.’s first future flagship location. The space offers 5,000 square-feet for retail operations, corporate offices and team training as well as a 3,000 square-foot medicinal and recreational cultivation. Item 9 Labs Corp. anticipates the dispensary to be transitioned over to Unity Rd., within six months of closing the acquisition, which is currently awaiting regulatory approval by Colorado’s Marijuana Enforcement Division (the “MED”) and the City of Denver.

“The new market expansion we are seeing on the retail side, will also propel our award-winning cannabis product brand further,” said Bowden, speaking to the Company’s overall national strategy to first enter with the Unity Rd. retail brand and follow with Item 9 Labs products. “Bringing our products to markets where Unity Rd. shops are located gives franchise partners front-of-the-line access to a reliable product supply chain. With our products owning more of the shelf space in Unity Rd. shops, we are driving additional sales across multiple revenue verticals, all to our benefit, as well as our franchise partners and our shareholders.”

Item 9 Labs Corp. is also seeking opportunities to acquire, develop or partner with cultivation and production facilities in markets where there are two to three Unity Rd. shops. Currently, the Company is focusing product expansion efforts on states, such as Colorado, to ease new market product entry and focus operations.
