Nextleaf launches new cannabis brand: Yard

Ms. Emma Andrews reports NEXTLEAF ANNOUNCES LAUNCH OF NEW RECREATIONAL CANNABIS BRAND Nextleaf Solutions Ltd. has nationally launched its new recreational brand, Yard. Yard is designed for adult-use consumers seeking bold recreational cannabis experiences through high-potency extracts, premium hardware and flavour-forward formulations. Developed at Nextleaf Labs in British Columbia, the brand will debut with a line-up of five new products, including THC-dominant vapes in multiple formats, alongside an assortment of infused prerolls, all in retro-classic flavour profiles. "Yard is an opportunity to resonate on a deeper level with recreational cannabis enthusiasts seeking THC forward products. Our goal is to deliver a premium experience, without pretense. Yard is an invitation to kick-back, take it easy and touch grass," shares Emma Andrews, chief executive officer of Nextleaf Solutions. The brand will feature innovative technology, including next-generation postless vape hardware and ceramic heating elements. Selected through rigorous product testing, for improved reliability when paired with highpotency extracts. Each AIO (all-in-one) device will include adjustable voltage controls for enhanced customization. Extract-based ingredients are produced in house to ensure consistent quality and reliable potency, using the company's proprietary extraction process and multipatented technology. Branded product portfolio strategy Yard complements the company's flagship brand, Glacial Gold, best known for its category leadership in non-combustible formats such as softgels and oils, and has earned a loyal following amongst health-conscious, value-seeking consumers. "Our company's performance within softgels and oils has remained dominant and continues to deliver steady year-over-year growth. Through recent SKU rationalization, we identified the need to reinvigorate aspects of our product assortment within highly competitive categories such as vapes and infused prerolls. These are categories with greater total revenue potential, where our ingredient portfolio and IP can be more meaningfully commercialized," comments Ms. Andrews. "We have a competitive advantage in quality, and consistency at scale, and we're excited to pair that with a bold brand identity and premium hardware."
