Chill Brands Group plc announced sales to a new distribution partner and an expansion of its US retail store programme. The Company has received an initial purchase order totaling in excess of $20,000 from a large national distributor serving a number of popular tobacco and liquor stores chains. Following the sale, Chill Brands' existing range of CBD products will enter an additional 60 stores across the Western United States.

These stores follow 20 Colorado-based independent retail locations and 20 licensed dispensary outlets that commenced sales and pilot programmes of Chill Brands' products during Autumn 2022. These latest retail sales developments build on the Company's existing presence in 600 stores including Yesway/Allsup's and branches of Smoker Friendly. Chill Brands' recent activity represents a retail footprint expansion of more than 15%.

The Company continues to work with its distribution partners to extend its sustainable and targeted rollout to retailers throughout the US. Many of Chill Brands' existing distribution and retail partners have also expressed interest in carrying the Company's new range of nicotine-free vapour products that was announced on 7 December 2022.
