Herbal Dispatch's B.C. direct delivery increases

Mr. Philip Campbell reports HERBAL DISPATCH DRIVES SUSTAINED GROWTH AND RETAIL SUPPORT AMID BCGEU STRIKE, BOOSTING SHAREHOLDER VALUE Herbal Dispatch Inc. has provided a market update highlighting the positive impact of the continuing B.C. General Employees' Union strike on its direct delivery operations. The strike, which began on Sept. 22, 2025, has disrupted central distribution operations at the B.C. Liquor Distribution Branch, halting wholesale shipments from the province's primary liquor and cannabis distribution hubs. This has driven retailers across British Columbia to rely on independent wholesalers and the direct delivery program, creating significant growth opportunities for Herbal Dispatch. The LDB typically distributes approximately $50-million in cannabis to B.C. dispensaries monthly. Since the closure of these distribution centres, Herbal Dispatch has experienced a substantial surge in order volumes as retailers turn to the company's robust direct delivery platform to maintain inventory and meet consumer demand. This increased reliance underscores Herbal Dispatch's critical role in supporting the retail ecosystem during this disruption. Prior to the strike, Herbal Dispatch commanded a 35-per-cent share of British Columbia's direct delivery market. With the LDB's central distribution system off-line, the company is capitalizing on heightened demand, achieving greater market penetration and reinforcing its position as a trusted partner for retailers. Herbal Dispatch's scalable e-commerce platform and strong relationships with local producers enable seamless, efficient direct-to-retailer fulfilment, ensuring dispensaries remain well stocked and operational. The company anticipates that the strengthened partnerships forged with retailers during this period will foster long-term loyalty, driving sustained growth in its direct delivery operations. This strategic advantage is expected to enhance Herbal Dispatch's market leadership and deliver increased value to shareholders through expanded revenue streams and a fortified market presence. Herbal Dispatch remains committed to supporting B.C.'s cannabis retailers and will continue to monitor the situation closely, providing further updates as developments unfold.
