Pineapple Express Cannabis Company Executes Substantial Revenue Generating Contract Regarding Multiple Cannabis Dispensaries

Company signs contract to receive 5% of all sales at 7 retail dispensaries in Los Angeles

LOS ANGELES, CA, June 11, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Pineapple Express Cannabis Company (OTC: PNXP) (the “Company” or “Pineapple Express”), a publicly traded company, today announced that its wholly owned subsidiary, Ananas Growth Ventures (“AGV”), has signed a revenue generating contract with Pineapple Consolidated, Inc. to receive 50% of its management fee revenue related to multiple legal cannabis retail operations in Los Angeles, in exchange for a $5 million-dollar promissory note. The contract, which has been in the works for weeks, is effective as of April 20, 2024, but was ratified by the board of directors of the Company and signed on June 10, 2024.

The deal involves operational and to be operational retail dispensaries in Hollywood, Venice Blvd., Van Nuys, Echo Park, Ventura Blvd, Northridge, and the Beverly Grove area of Los Angeles. The contract calls for the Company to directly receive half of the management fees collected by Pineapple Consolidated, Inc., which amounts to 10% of retail sales collected per location resulting in 5% of all retail sales going to the Company. In exchange, Ananas Growth Ventures has issued a $5 million-dollar promissory note to Pineapple Consolidated, Inc., bearing 1% interest per year, and payable at the Company’s and AGV’s discretion with a maturity date of April 20, 2029.

“This is a key moment in our maturation as a company. Having the ability to directly generate revenue while keeping our overhead nominal is the key to operating a sustainable and profitable business, said CEO and Chairman, Matthew Feinstein. “This is all happening on the heels of the imminent cannabis rescheduling which will put an end to cannabis prohibition in the United States, similar to what the nation experienced during the 1930’s with alcohol. Nearly 100 years later and history is repeating itself, but this time with cannabis,” Feinstein added.
