TAAT Global Alternatives Inc. announced that an operator of a Michigan tobacco store chain, with whom the Company began a dialogue at a recent trade show, placed an initial purchase order of TAAT on July 22, 2021 and has confirmed a 100% placement rate of TAAT in its 147 points of sale across the state of Michigan. With hundreds of TAAT retailers in Ohio in addition to a growing footprint in the greater Chicago area of Illinois, the addition of these Michigan stores further strengthens the presence of TAAT in the Great Lakes region of the United States. In a press release dated August 17, 2021, the Company announced that it added distribution of TAAT in seven new U.S. states in just a two-month period, demonstrating strong growth of TAAT in the United States while simultaneously preparing for its first international launches following a CAD 1,075,000 purchase order from its U.K. and Ireland wholesaler announced in an August 20, 2021 press release. Although TAAT is now sold in the convenience outlets of several gas stations under national and global banners, this is the Company's first chain-wide placement with a retailer who has 100 or more stores.
