The new facility will allow the Company to cease certain 3PL relationships and engage in its own distribution and fulfillment of wholesale orders.

On November 3, 2021, the Company announced that sales in the month of October 2021 alone exceeded all of third quarter sales, a Company record for sales revenue. The performance in the month of October can be attributed to international expansion, with significant sales growth to US distributors with significant reach in South America.
