Multi-state cannabis operator Red White & Bloom Brands Inc. RWB (OTCQX: RWBYF) has officially entered Phase 2 of its Florida expansion plan ahead of schedule. The company confirmed this week’s delivery of 30 modular grow pods to its Florida subsidiary, Red White & Bloom LLC (RWBFL), which has a cultivation location in Apopka. The pods are expected to help bring in $30 million in annual revenue.
Phase 2 started with the commissioning and OMMU approval of five pods that subsequently were loaded and are growing plants. RWBFL is fast-tracking the remaining 25 pods and expects to have them operational no later than December 1st.
The pods provide an additional 19,200 sq. ft. of indoor cultivation space that will produce high-quality flower.
“Our Red White & Bloom Florida team has been on time, on target and under budget with the execution of every step of our aggressive three-phase development strategy for our two cultivation centers in Florida,” Brad Rogers, CEO of Red White & Bloom said in a statement. “With the delivery of the grow pods and anticipated launch date of December 1st, we are ahead of schedule and on our way to adding $30 million in revenue annually from the pods. “
RWBFL achieved another milestone on November 2: the production of its first batch of chocolates from its new edibles kitchen in Sanderson.
