HENDERSON, NV - (NewMediaWire) - August 10, 2022 - Grove Inc. (GRVI) Grove, Inc. has taken the formal steps to change its name to Upexi, Inc. and incorporated wholly owned subsidiaries; Upexi Holdings, LLC and Upexi Enterprises, LLC. The change is representative of the evolution of the business. Grove, Inc. started as a scaling hemp company but has become much more. The business has expanded beyond the CBD industry and will focus on the larger market opportunities in consumer brands, SaaS programmatic advertising technology, and its growing reseller and liquidation businesses for both Amazon and direct to consumer markets.

Allan Marshall stated in a letter to shareholders, “The Direct-to-Consumer market will remain a key initiative as we believe consumer behavior has been changed forever and that profits and value will continue to be in this vertical. To this end, we have made an investment in an advertising platform to acquire the most valuable asset of a DTC company, which is customer data. The material growth of our consumer database has been a key driver of our sales and profits in fiscal year 2022. Each of the brands and businesses have contributed to company growth and have us better positioned for continued success. To support the future growth, we have made investments in distribution, logistics and technology to service our customers across all current and future product offerings.”

Management believes that the combination of current brands, growing consumer customer data, distribution channels, and advertising technology will create a strong ecosystem for brand growth and successful integration of future brands we acquire. The business growth will come from organic growth of our current business and the Upexi Brand acquisition strategy.
