Boggy Boon-branded cannabis is cultivated in a 28,000-square feet facility located in Wenatchee, located in north-central Washington where Weekend’s wholly owned subsidiary Orchard Heights Growers is also conveniently located.

“As a result of this arrangement, Boggy Boon will be able to dedicate its operation entirely to cultivation with an anticipated increase efficiency of 40%, with the current year run rate of $2 million growing to $2.8 million,” said Weekend Unlimited CEO Paul Chu.

Due to the alliance, Orchard Heights will have more diverse products to offer its customers and will be able to sell Weekend brands to existing 130 Boggy Boon retail accounts.

“The Washington market is mature, and consumers are becoming more loyal to established brands like Boggy Boon,” said Chu.

According to the Chu, Boggy Boon is ranked in the top 5% of all cannabis brands in Washington State.

Symbiotic relationship

“We feel this is an ideal partnership where each entity was looking to develop the infrastructure that the other already has in place. By forming this alliance both will accelerate their market penetration and fully utilize existing infrastructure to grow,” said Chu.

Boggy Boon is a Tier 3 producer and processor in Wenatchee. It built a custom cannabis greenhouse in 2016 for premium production.

By collaborating with Orchard Heights, Boggy Boon will be able to improve its existing operations and up production by 40% to diversify its product offering in Washington state.

Weekend’s facility in Wenatchee will not only provide synergy to boost revenue for both companies, but will also slash operating expenses, thereby increasing profit margins.

Vancouver-based cannabis-focused Weekend Unlimited recently completed its November acquisition of Verve Beverage Company, the maker of both CBD and non-CBD beverages. Verve holds the Champ Energy brand, which gives Weekend an accelerated model to launch into CBD-infused beverages.
