Mary Jones Cannabis Sodas & Edibles EXPANDS TO NEVADA

Jones Soda Co., the original craft soda known for its unconventional flavors and user-submitted photo labels, recently announced an agreement expanding distribution of its new Mary Jones cannabisinfused beverage brand to Nevada. The Mary Jones line debuted last June in California.

Mary Jones already ranks as the #1 seller in the cannabis-infused carbonated beverage category in California, where it is carried in more than 275 dispensaries. Retail adoption has been so rapid, fueled by Jones Soda’s reputation for flavor innovation and iconoclastic brand persona, that Mary Jones has become the fastest new cannabis brand launch in the state.

Mary Jones manufacturing and distribution in Nevada will be handled by Maxxx Labs, a cannabis contract manufacturing and distribution company specializing in beverage manufacturing.

Expected to be in dispensaries this summer, Mary Jones will launch with the full portfolio of current products, including their 10mg and 100mg THC-infused sodas and THCinfused syrups. The launch will also include Mary Jones edibles in multiple flavors and formats. All products will be available in a variety of flavors that taste exactly like the mainline Jones craft sodas that have been top sellers for over 25 years. Limited-edition flavors will be added seasonally.

The brand’s 10mg sodas are packaged in single-serving 12 oz glass bottles sold in 4-pack carriers. The 100mg sodas come in 16 oz resealable, child-resistant, multi-serve cans designed for paced consumption and/ or social sharing with friends. The syrups come in 4 fl glass bottles containing 100mg of THC for multiple servings that can be added to any soda, used as a cocktail mixer, sipped straight from the bottle, drizzled over desserts, or used to infuse favorite recipes.

“As the first branded soda company to expand into the cannabis space, we have unique advantages that include 26 years of brand recognition, deep flavor science expertise, and an edgy brand personality that’s a perfect fit for the canna culture,” said Mark Murray, President and CEO of Jones Soda Company. “These attributes have already helped turn Mary Jones into California’s top infused carbonated beverage and the state’s fastest-growing cannabis brand, and we fully expect similar success in Washington, Michigan, Nevada and every other market we enter.”

"This collaboration presents a unique opportunity to combine our expertise in cannabis manufacturing with Jones Soda's well-known creativity in beverage development,” said Paul Schmitz, CEO of Core Investment Group, the parent company of Maxxx Labs. “We will be bringing canna consumers in Nevada new products that I fully expect to fly off the shelves and continue building Mary Jones into a leading brand in the space."

“Nevada is unique, with a hometown group of consumers matched by a large tourist population. We want each of them to have a great Mary Jones experience to talk about when they get home” said Bohb Blair, CMO of Jones Soda & CBO of Mary Jones.

The first Nevada dispensaries to carry Mary Jones products will be announced on the ‘Where To Buy’ page at www.gomaryjones. com shortly before launch.
