Chris Rivera, Unrivaled’s Interim Chief Financial Officer stated, “Q2 has been a challenge to the legal cannabis market, and we are proud to have not lost ground on our retail business while improving our gross margin. The changes we have made by listening to our customers, such as implementing the loyalty program, have helped us weather the storm facing the industry. In the past year, we’ve reevaluated our business model with the intent to right-size and stabilize, focusing on our key retail operations. While we continue to drive retail margins, there is work to be done on the cultivation front. Putting people first has been our mindset and we would not be where we are today without our team, vendors, and creditors.”
Tracy McCourt, Unrivaled’s Chief Revenue Officer added, “The cannabis community is continuing to fight economic headwinds and price compression in key products. Although we do see some product categories remain stable in their performance, such as edibles and vapes, the saturation of flower into the market has driven many prices down. In combination, we are seeing an impact on the average ticket. However, our focus is customer retention, and ensuring we are providing an amazing retail experience that keeps our customers coming back. This includes always bringing the highest quality products with a vast yet highly curated selection of options to our customers. This way we know that at our stores they will always find something they will thoroughly enjoy.”
