SAN DIEGO, July 15, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Driven, the online cannabis sales platform, marketing and home delivery leader announced today that it has completed the acquisition of Mountain High Recreation, the Sacramento-based online cannabis retailers. Upon integration, the deal will increase Driven’s revenue run rate in excess of $ 10 million on an annual basis. 

The Mountain High Recreation subsidiary provides massive scale and influence for Driven’s growing Business to Business solution (B2B), which enables cannabis brands to launch online stores and provide final mile distribution to its mutual consumers. Comprised largely of stock, the deal adds more than 18,000 loyal, unique consumers to the company’s platform, expanding its consumer base to more than 45,000 consumers.  Additionally, the acquisition allows Driven to consolidate operations while expanding volume, ultimately driving more than 14% savings on the existing delivery network.  Parallel to the acquisition, Driven has extended employment offers to several of the Mountain High Recreation team members and plans to leverage their experience and customer centric values within its combined operations. 

“I cannot emphasize enough how proud Driven is to announce this paradigm-shifting acquisition at this early stage in our strategic growth plan,” stated Mr. Christian Schenk, CEO of Driven Deliveries.  “With the acquisition of Ganjarunner last month and now with the closing of Mountain High Recreation, we are poised to exceed our plan almost a year ahead of schedule with no signs of slowing down.  The first $10 million, historically, is always the most challenging and I am extremely proud of the team’s commitment to execution.  The continued investment into our infrastructure, people and operations is paying dividends to our growth projections and will be a major contributor in the accelerated goals of the company.”
