Wayland Announces Plans for First Retail Location in Zurich, Switzerland
Elevated retail concept set to launch in 2019
TORONTO, Sept. 27, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Wayland Group (CSE:WAYL) (FRANKFURT: 75M) (OTCQB:MRRCF) (“Wayland” or the “Company) is pleased to announce that the Company will open its first retail location in Zurich, Switzerland in 2019 – serving the market with high quality cannabis products that contain a maximum THC content of 1 percent.
This opportunity comes on the heels of the Company’s strategic acquisition of Haxxon AG (“Haxxon”) in May 2018, granting Wayland the opportunity to leverage Haxxon’s production facilities in Regensdorf, Switzerland, and their production of feminized high CBD cannabis plants.
Already positioned to be a meaningful leader in this category, a retail footprint in Switzerland grants us the opportunity to bring an elevated standard of product to market in Europe, while also engaging these insights and learnings as we widen our potential retail expansion to Canada. We’re committed to bringing an elevated shopping experience to the cannabis category, and we’re excited that experience will start in Zurich.
Ben Ward, CEO of Wayland Group Corp
The retail location will encompass an enhanced experience center where people will be able to sample and test different strains and devices.
Maricann Group Inc., through its subsidiaries, is operating under the Wayland Group name. For further details see the press release dated September 24, 2018.
