Fort Lauderdale, Florida--(Newsfile Corp. - October 28, 2024) - Flora Growth Corp. (NASDAQ: FLGC) (FSE: 7301) ("Flora" or the "Company") is thrilled to announce the launch of its THC-infused Cola, marking the Company's next product offering in the rapidly expanding beverages market. This innovative product follows the introduction of Melo, Flora's first beverage, and continues the Company's strategic expansion into the thriving beverage sector.
Flora's Cola is crafted using the same emulsion technology that ensures a consistent and high-quality consumer experience. This proprietary technology enables the infusion of hemp into beverages, delivering a product that maintains the familiar taste of traditional cola while providing the unique benefits of hemp.
With consumers increasingly seeking functional beverage options, Flora's latest product is poised to capture a share of this market by offering a compelling alternative to traditional soft drinks.
"We are incredibly excited to introduce our hemp-infused Cola to the market, a product that exemplifies Flora's commitment to quality. Our team has worked diligently to develop a beverage that not only meets the high expectations of cola enthusiasts but also introduces hemp in a familiar and enjoyable format. With the launch of this product, we are not only expanding our presence in the beverage industry but also setting the stage for future growth in the beverage space," said Clifford Starke, Chief Executive Officer.
The launch of Cola will be supported by an extensive distribution network, leveraging traditional retail channels, U.S. distributors, and liquor stores. The target market for this Cola includes both the mainstream cola market and the emerging demand for hemp-based products.
Flora's initial objective with the launch of Cloud Cola is to secure a strong foothold in the U.S. Southeast, positioning the brand as a leader in the region while laying the groundwork for national expansion. By starting in this high-demand area, Flora aims to build brand recognition and loyalty, ultimately setting the stage for Cloud Cola to become a household name across the country.
Just as Flora has established itself with one of the best-selling gummies on the market, we are now channeling that same dedication and expertise into the THC-infused beverage category. Our success with gummies has proven that we have the formula, innovation, and vision to create products that resonate powerfully with consumers. With the launch of Cloud Cola, we are bringing that same commitment to quality, consistency, and consumer satisfaction to the rapidly growing THC-infused beverage market.
