DALLAS, June 25, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Rocky Mountain High Brands, Inc. (OTCQB: RMHB), a fully reporting lifestyle brand management Company specializing in high-quality health and wellness products, announced today the Company has entered into an agreement with How Sweet It Is Fudge and Candy Company ("How Sweet It Is"
of Holt, Michigan to manufacture hemp-derived CBD-infused chocolates, hard candies, and baked goods for distribution throughout the United States.
Under the agreement, Sweet Rock, LLC ("Sweet Rock" was organized with two members. Rocky Mountain High Brands will be the Managing Member with 51% ownership, which will allow the Company to consolidate the operations of the LLC into RMHB's consolidated financial statements. The other Member is Sweet Ally, Inc., with 49%. Sweet Ally, Inc. is owned by Lenny Cusenza, who is also the owner of How Sweet It Is.
Sweet Rock will focus on creating, manufacturing and distributing hemp-derived CBD-infused chocolates, hard candies and baked goods. These edibles will be manufactured with high quality chocolate which provides a healthy and enjoyable way to consume CBD. Sweet Rock will enter into a manufacturing agreement with How Sweet It Is and will utilize their existing distribution channels established throughout the entire country.
Michael Welch, President and Chief Executive Officer of Rocky Mountain High Brands, Inc., stated, "This agreement represents an important milestone in our growth strategy and provides a solid foundation to grow market value for our shareholders. Our investment in Sweet Rock strengthens our competitiveness, complements our existing product line, and provides a significant additional revenue stream.
Mr. Welch continued, "I am very thankful to Albert Vergilio, Managing Director of Carlin Group, for his introduction to Lenny Cusenza. During our initial meeting, we identified that we both had a unique set of complementary skills. We were both very comfortable working with each other. We exchanged ideas and identified opportunities that would help both of our companies grow. As a result, Sweet Rock was created."
Mr. Welch concluded, "We plan to launch a line of mid-level hemp-derived CBD edibles and other products in Sweet Rock. Our first product line is in confections and will be ready for market in four to six weeks. Our team has developed and perfected the recipes for the initial offerings. They are now focused on completing the branding and packaging. Our first four product offerings will be four different varieties of hemp-derived CBD infused chocolate bars. Each bar will contain 120 mg of CBD and will be sectioned into twelve servings per bar, which means each serving will contain approximately 10 mg of CBD. Based on our test samples, each bar is incredibly delicious! The launch of this product line is already assured as Mr. Cusenza has already secured distribution in the Lipari Food system."
Lenny Cusenza, President and Owner of How Sweet It Is, stated, "The market for our hemp-derived CBD-infused chocolates will be very lucrative. According to Green Entrepreneur on March 6. 2019, chocolate edibles sales increased 166% between the first quarters of 2017 and 2018. By contrast, the CBD chocolate market grew 530% in the same time frame. The growth of the CBD chocolate market in 2019 and beyond is projected to be much greater."
Mr. Cusenza continued, "We have all the pieces in place to make Sweet Rock a very profitable business alliance with Rocky Mountain High Brands:
-- Sweet Rock's products will be produced out of an FDA registered facility
operated by How Sweet It Is.
-- Sweet Rock will be able to participate in the exclusive distribution
agreement that How Sweet It Is executed recently with Lipari Foods.
-- While we are launching Sweet Rock with four hemp-derived CBD infused
chocolate bars, we plan to expand the line quickly into other
hemp-derived CBD infused chocolates, hard candies, and baked goods. All
these products can be added to the Lipari Food's distribution system."
